LOCATE HOSPITAL NEXT THURSDAY
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1911
REGENTS GO TO DES MOINES CONFERENCE FRIDAY.
Kansas Cityans Will Argue for Retention of the Game Before Conference Meets.
Two important meetings of the Board of Regents will be held this week. The Board will meet at the University Thursday to decide on the location of the University hospital. It is expected that every Regent will be present to help decide the important question.
Chancellor Strong and the Regents will go to Kansas City Thursday night to meet a number of committees of various organizations of that city at a dinner which will be presided over by Mayor Brown. The Kansas City men want to persuade the Chancellor and the Regents that Kansas City is the logical place for the Kansas-Missouri game and will urge that the rule limiting games to college grounds be resconded.
After the banquet at Kansas City the Regents will take a tramitor Des Moines, where the second annual conference of presidents and governing boards of the Missouri Valley will be held Friday, Regents Gleed, White, Hopkins and Chancellor Strong may be the only ones to take the Des Moines trip.
1. Further consideration of intercollegiate athletics.
The conference at Des Moines will be presided over by Chancellor Strong. The following is the program of subjects which will be discussed at the meeting:
2. Would it be well to hand over to the Missouri Valley Conference of Faculty Representatives all matters of detail in regard to inter-collegiate athletics?
3. Non-resident and other tuition changes in institutions in the Conference.
4. Co-operation among universities so as to avoid useless duplication in the extension of departments.
5. How can we increase academic efficiency?
6. Uniform accounting so as to arrive at a basis of comparison as to the cost of education.
7. Teachers' salaries and the per capita cost of university education.
8. Shall student activities, other than athletic, such as fraternities, dramatics, social events, etc., be curtailed?
Student Council Meeting.
9. Unfinished business.
The first regular meeting of the Men's Student Council for January will be held in Fraser hall. room 116 this evening at 8:30 o'clock.
The Phi Kappa Psi fraternity gave its annual "tacky" party at the chapter house last Saturday evening.
WARMER WEATHER COMING
The Worst of the Present Gold Snap Is Over.
The University record shows that the temperature on the hill was 5.5 degrees below zero at 9 o'clock last night and 10.2 degrees below at 7 o'clock this morning. At 2 o'clock this afternoon it had warmed up considerably. The mercury stood at 8.5 degrees above.
The forecast is for fair and warmer weather tomorrow, and all the students who had to walk several blocks to super last night and afterward tried to study in cold rooms are glad of it.
The cold wave found the University in better shape as regards coal supply than it was in the cold weather a year ago. Five hundred tons of fuel were in storage at the boiler house when the temperature took its sudden drop Sunday.
A full force of firemen went to work firing up at 6 o'clock Sunday evening to get the buildings warmed up for the classes yesterday morning. Even with the extra help some of the rooms were not comfortably warm when University work was resumed.
HELD A RECEPTION.
Cherokee County Students En tertain Highs.
Cherokee county students held a well attended reception on Thursday evening, December 22 in the Cherokee county high school auditorium in Columbus at which alumni, faculty and seniors of that school were guests. Alumni of the University living at Columbus were also among the number who were entertained by the farcial representation of a county club meeting which was presented by Cherokee county students now attending the University.
The basket-ball game played on the previous evening between University students and the Cherokee county high school team was won by the latter with a score of 37 to 25.
During the holidays four new campus lights were erected on Mount Oread. One was placed on the Mississippi street approach west of the Museum, one on the bank above the repair shop, one in front of Blake hall, and one between the Fowler shops and the gymnasium.
New Campus Lights.
Prof. D. L. Thomas, a former member of the faculty of the department of English and public speaking of the University, visited with Professor E. M. Hopkins for several days during the Christmas holidays. Professor Thomas is now head of the department of English in Central College at Danville, Ky.
Edgar L. Bailey, '07, of Chicago, visited with his parents,Professor and Mrs. E. H. S. Bailey, over Sunday.

To Improve Scholarship.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity held its forty-sixth annual convention at Kansas City, December 30. There were three hundred delegates present from seventy-five universities. A banquet was held after the meeting and it was "dry" according to the rules of the fraternity. A committee was appointed to devise ways and means for improving scholarship. The next conclave will be held in Nashville, Tenn., in December, 1912.
The Young Women's Christian Association will hold its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon a 4:45, in room 110. Miss Margare Lynn of the English department will speak. All girls of the University are invited.
Y. W. C. A. Meeting.
Notice.
Hollis Marsh, who was a freshman in the School of Engineering last year, is planning the track work for a $500,000 depot that is being built by the Manufacturers railroad in St. Louis, Mo.
There will be no school held in North College until the weather becomes warmer.
Columbia, following the example of the University of Chicago, has established a students' bank as a part of the college activities. The bank is connected with the business office and pays no interest.
TWO PROFESSORS INJURED
A Broken Wrist and a Sprain at a Faculty Dance.
Dr. J. N. Van der Vries, professor of mathematics, broke his right elbow and dislocated his right wrist in the early part of the Christmas holidays, as the result of a fall while he was attending a faculty dance in Ecke's hall Since last fall his left ankle has been sprained and his fall was due to this injured member. He however, completed his plans for the vacation by later going to Atlanta, Ga. At the present time his arm is improving as rapidly as can be expected.
A second accident occurred the same evening to Prof. E. F. Stimpson, who fell on the icy walk while walking to Ecke's hall to attend the party. He sustained a severe sprain in the muscles of his right leg.
HIS EYES WERE SAVED.
Frank Belding Recovering From Injuries in Chemistry Lab.
Frank Belding, the junior in the College, whose sight was almost destroyed this fall in an explosion of metallic sodium in the chemistry laboratory, expects to re-enter school the latter part of the week. The sight of Mr. Belding's right eye is completely restored, but the center vision of the left pupil cannot be recovered although the side vision has been saved.
TRAINED DEBATERS.
University Speaker Brought Forth Winning Team.
Mr. Belding went to Kansas City yesterday to have his eyes examined by the doctors at the University hospital. He left the hospital a week before the Christmas holidays.
On the evening of December 15, the Perry high school debating team defeated the Leavenworth high school debating squad on the question "Direct Election of United States Senators." W. A. Eardman of the1910University debating team trained the victorious team. The judges in the contest were Professors Hodder and Dykstra of the University, and Prof. H. L. Miller of the Kansas City, Kan., high school.
Thespian Club Meeting.
The Thespian dramatic club will hold a meeting at the Phi Delt house this evening, commencing about 9 o'clock. The meeting will be a social session, followed by a business discussion.
Miss Grace Waugh of Eskridge, who graduated from the School of Fine Arts last year, left Tuesday for Boston, where she will enter the Emersonian School or Expression for a two year's course. It is the present intention of Miss Waugh to take up professional dramatic work on the stage after she has graduated from the Boston school.
"YSBRAND" MAY BE PUT ON AT TOPEKA
MRS. C. M. SHELDON WRITES
REGARDING DUTCH DRAMA.
may Choose a Washburn Cast to Support Harry Kemp in Leading Role.
Mrs. Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka has written to Prof. J. E. Boodin inquiring what arrangements can be made for the presentation in Topeka of Dr. Frederick Van Eeden's play, "Ysbrand," which was produced at the University last year. The same society which gave "In His Steps" at the state capital recently is anxious to have a performance of "Ysbrand" given there.
According to the Regents' rulings, it will be impossible to train a University cast to give the play in Topeka. It has been suggested that a cast of Washburn students be selected and trained by Miss Gertrude Mossler, who put the play on at the University last year. The Topeka society may ask Harry Kemp, who played the title role last year, to take the part again if "Ysbrand" is put on at Topeka.
MADE MANY TESTS.
The Senior Mechanics Took a Week's Holiday Trip.
Seven members of the senior mechanical engineering class spent the first week of the Christmas vacation on a trip through Southeastern Kansas and Western Missouri. Tuesday was spent in Independence where a two-hour-test of the air compressor at the Grabham Compressing station was made. The cement plants also were visited. Wednesday they inspected the M. K. & T. shops at Parsons, leaving for Joplin, Mo., that evening. On Thursday a trip was made to Riverview, Mo., a small station out of Joplin, where the steam and hydro-electric plant of the Empire District Light & Power company that supplies power to the zine mines and the numerous interurban electric lines, was inspected. The zine mines and the smelter and power plants at Webb City also were inspected and on Friday a seven-hour water test was made at the water plant at Pittsburg. This test was made in connection with the thesis work of two members of the class, Tom Purton and John Farrell.
The men returned to their homes Saturday evening.
Those who made the trip besides Prof. P. F. Walker are Tom Purton, John Farrell, Robert Fisher, Ray Bartlett, Wilber Judy, Everett Sutton and Fritz Broeker.
Eliot Porter, Albert Mangelsdorf and John Brook returned last night from Atlanta Ga., where they have been attending the Alpha Tau National congress.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 3. 1911
The Western Intercollegiate Magazine comments in a surprised way upon the fact that student organizations of the University of Kansas are required to submit their books for an audit by the University authorities. The Magazine calls it "self government reversed," and "espionage." The University has done the organizations good by making the ruling, and could do more if it would carry out the plans that have been made. Early in the fall arrangements were made to draw up a system of accounting as nearly uniform as the needs of the various organizations would allow, in order that slipshod business methods might be done away with, and the treasurers might be enabled to make clear, correct reports with the minimum amount of work. Nothing has been heard of the plan for some time and it looks as if the organizations would have to get along under the old methods as best they can. It is significant that the only persons who objected to the ruling as "espionage" when it put in force last year were a few who were loath to depart from the old ways under which grafting was possible.
A man saw a young fellow affix a stamp on an envelope in a peculiar cat-a-cornered fashion. "Why do you put the stamp on like that?" he asked. "Why," the young fellow explained, "I'm a student in a correspondence school and that's our college yell." Could a college get along without a yell? The president of Harvard has suggested that the yell is a barbarous survival and ought to be dispensed with in centers of culture. It is doubtful if his suggestion will meet with approval outside of the deaf-and-dumb schools. It is through the medium of the yell that the freshman first feels himself to be a college man, and the senior in cap and gown gives his college cheer in token of undying loyalty. We feel sure that the sonorous music of "Rock! Chalk!" would not prove distasteful even to the president of Harvard if he should be fortunate enough to hear it.
The intrepid lady, or the gallant gentleman, has mounted the little platform high up under the swaying canvas. The acts in the ring pause. The band plays madly and the slide for life or the loop-the-loop, or whatever the nerve-thrilling finale has been, is almost over in the same instant it began. In five weeks every student will be a principal in a slide for life down the precipitous quiz route. In order to come up bowing and smiling at the end of the act it will be necessary for nearly every one to devote the intervening weeks to painstaking study of the scientific principles involved and some careful rehearsals.
Just one week more and the Kansas Legislature will be in session. It is not likely that its members, who have much of the welfare of the state for the next two years in their charge, will neglect the educational institutions.
The lesson of the recent aviation disasters as showing the advantage of the ground as a place to stay on rather than a place to light on probably will not be lost on the three University men who have built an aeroplane.
As long as there is coal in the coal-bin and gas in the pipes, the University probably can worry along in spite of the cold zephyrs from Medicine Hat.

LET MUSIC CHARM.
"Chapelite" Thinks a Male Quartet Would Help Service.
To the Editor of The Kansan:
Some time ago there was much agitation by the powers that be regarding attendance at chapel. Now I have an idea that I would like to perpetrate upon this unsuspecting student body concerning attendance at chapel. People all go to prayers on Friday and on Tuesday, mainly because there something extra to be heard these days. Extend the good and noble work to the other three days of the week and make every day an extra day.
Here comes the idea and it is not a new one by any means. Have a Chapel Quartet. That's the key to the whole business. The organization of such a quartet would be one of the best things ever attempted at the University. Singing by a trained quartet at

"I regret," said he, "that I have but one Kansan to give for my rooming house."
And forthwith he subscribed for another.
Philip W. Whitcomb of Washburn, the Successful Candidate.
CHOSE RHODES SCHOLAR.
Philip W. Whitecomb, of Washburn has been selected as the successful candidate for the Rhodes scholarship. He will attend for the three years beginning next October. The five students from whom the choice was made were: E. D. Cressman of Lawrence, F. H. Allis and G. S. Counts of Baker, and Philip Whitecomb and H. R. O'Brien of Washburn.
If the former system of rotation among the three colleges had been continued, Cressman of Kansas should have gone. However, the choice was exceedingly difficult and preference was given to Wash burn as both Kansas and Baker have men at Oxford; while the representative selected from Washburn last year could not go because of sickness.
The nominating committee,which met at Topeka Wednesday, was composed of Chancellor Frank Strong, Chief Justice W. A. Johnson, President L. H. Murlin of Baker, President Frank Sanders of Washburn and State Superintendent E. T. Fairechild.

A. R. BUZICK.
Dear Dad: I take my pen in hand; I hope you're well and feeling grand. I'm doing pretty well, you know—it looks as though we might get snow. I'm working harder every day, and getting the results, they say. I've scarcely time to write to you, I have some studying to do. It's fierce, the way I work my brain—last week we had a little rain. I guess I'll stop —Oh, by the way, I've got my room and board to pay. The check you sent some time ago, I used to buy more books, you know. It's fierce the books I've had to buy, and prices now are awfully high. This education, so they say, is getting higher every day. Please send a cheek, I need the mon, your loving and devoted son.
My boy, when you left in the fall, you promised faithfully, one and all, that you would work with diligence and use a little common sense; avoid society so gay, and try to grab a P. B. K. Your statements filled our breasts with hope, and also filled us with soft soap; we had a vision of your name carved deeply in the hall of fame, a picture of a laurel wreath, your head reposing underneath, and we could see you bringing back degrees and honor in a sack. These pleasant dreams concerning you we figured out might soon come true. Alas, how weak we mortals be, for someone writes direct to me; it seems you've scarce looked in a book; they say it's time to get the hook; the laurel wreath you must have missed, your name heads the delinquent list. You'll never get a Ph.D. they'll put you through the third degree. You'd better come back home l fear, and try again some other year; please leave your school life with its charm, we need your efforts on the farm.
Dean Skilton Is Ill.
Dean C. S, Skilton of the School of Music, will be unable to meet his classes this week owing to sickness. Prof. Skilton has been confined to his bed since December 21 with a cold, which developed into pneumonia. The critical point was reached Friday and since then he has been improving.
Prof. C. E. Hubach of the School of Music has been confined to his home for a week with tonsillitis. He is meeting his pupils at his residence.
There were no classes in North College yesterday, as the building could not be sufficiently heated by the gas stoves in each room.

INDIAN RELICS ADDED TO MUSEUM
A COLLECTION OF 300 SPECI MENS IS SECURED.
The Gift of the Late Captain Kilian—Artifact to Anthropological Department.
A large number of Indian relies of great historic worth have just been added to the anthropological collection of the University museum. The greater part of the material was secured in the vicinity of the old settlement of Quivira, near Manhattan. It was the property of the late Captain Edward A. K. Kilian. Some time before his death Captain Kilian wrote to the University that he meant his collection to become the property of the school. His son, Dr. A. K. Kilian, of Manhattan, acted upon his father's wish and recently presented the specimens to the University.
The collection consists of about three hundred specimens of Indian artifact, of fine workmanship and design, including arrow points, spear heads, flint knives, flint tomahawks, flint hoes, stone mauls, meal grinders, fragments of pottery, and a great number of scrapers used in the tanning of hides.
Perhaps the most interesting thing in the collection is a human head carved in stone, quaintly decorated, and about life size. It probably was made to represent a war god. The head has a series of small holes drilled around the top of the skull in which to stick eagle feathers to form the war bonnet. The head resembles those found in Yucatan and resembles Egyptian sculpture
Captain Kilian added much value to his collection by keeping in a book, which accompanied the specimens, careful data about the time and place of finding each article, with drawings of each specimen from two views, for identification.
A TEACHERS' LIBRARY.
School of Education Is Gathering Comprehensive Exhibit.
The Pedagogical museum in the School of Education, consists of a collection of old text books and modern ones used in elementary and high school work.
Some of these texts have been presented by the, book companies while others have been purchased by funds, used for this purpose in the School of Education.
A new feature in the department will be the Professional Teachers' Library, which will consist of modern pedagogical or theoretical treatment of present educational problems, movements, tendencies and scientific discoveries or advancements. One of the main purposes of this permanent exhibit will be to suggest to young teachers the field of educational theory, and to acquaint them with those agencies whose business and function it is to serve them.
A stereoception and slides are used by every teacher in the School of Education, to illustrate various phases of the work. The slides are made in the dark room in the tower of Fraser hall, under the direction of several teachers.
"Hobbled" Girls Played Basket Ball.
Smith College women who stayed at Northampton, Mass., for the Thanksgiving holidays devised a unique method of celebrating. A basket ball tournament was arranged in which a team garbed in hobble skirts contended with another wearing long trained gowns, while another quintet dressed in the latest fashion met one representing the fashion degrees of former years. The game between the hobbies and the long trains proved the most interesting, but the scorekeeper became so absorbed in watching the strug gle the rival fives had with their skirts that she forgot to keep tally. All the players wore large picture hats.—Chicago Evening Post.
Dr. Van der Vries Elected Head of Alpha Taus.
CHOOSE K. U. PROFESSOR
Dr. J. N. Van der Vries of the department of mathematics in the University, was last week chosen Worthy Grand chief of the Alpha Tau Omega national fraternity. The election took place in Atlanta, Ga., at the twenty-second biennial congress of the fraternity. The choice of Dr. Van der Vries was by a unanimous vote.
For several years the University faculty member has taken an active interest in the national organization of his fraternity. Previous to this time he has held the office of head of the western province of the society.

CHINCH BUG FIGHT WAS ALL IN VAIN
LATE RESEARCH SET ASIDE PROF. SNOW'S THEORY.
Prof. F. H. Billings Had Charge of Experiments of 1910, Which Gave New Conclusions.
Experiments carried on during the season of 1910 by Prof. F. H. Billings of the department of botany have satisfied him that the effort which the University has been making for many years to lessen the ravages in Kansas crops by chinch bugs has not helped in any material degree to destroy the pests. Professor Billings has incorporated in the following abridged report an account of his experiments and their results. A complete bulletin will be issued later by the University for general distribution.
Summary and Conclusions of Investi-
gations of the Practicability of the
gations of the Practicability of the Use of the Chinch-Bug Funny.
Use of the Chinch-bug Fungus.
The University of Kansas has, during the season of 1910, sent out 1363 packages of diseased chinch bugs to farmers, with which to start infection boxes and artificially infect their fields. The plan followed was in accordance with the recommendations of Professor Snow, who in the '90's attempted to check the ravages of the chinch bugs by the distribution of Sportortrichum globuliferum, the well known white fungus disease. A series of investigations, however, was conducted during the season of 1910, the purpose being to ascertain the practicability of artificial infection. The plan of work embraced the solution of the following problems:
1. Determination of the extent of the presence of the chinch-bug fungus naturally in Kansas soil.
2. Practicability of artificial infection of fields after the fungus was shown to be present.
3. Practicability of artificial infection of fields containing apparently little or no soorotrichum, and, incidentally;
4. Ascertaining, so far as possible, the best methods of fighting chinch bugs in case it were proven that artificial infection with fungus is not effective.
The work of solving the first problem fell naturally into three divisions namely,
1. Examination of chinch bugs for the fungus disease while they were still in winter quarters.
2. Examination of chinch bugs for disease after migration to wheat fields.
3. Examination for fungus disease of chinch bugs sent to the University by farmers in packages, and if found, the consequent crediting of the locality from which they came with its presence naturally in the soil.
While gathering data for determining to what extent Sporotrichum disease was naturally present in Kansas soil, many localities in the infested area were visited. The work began in January, 1910, and extended well into the summer.
As a result fifty-one counties of the state were found, by direct personal observation to contain the fungus. From diseased bugs found among those sent to the University, eight additional counties were placed in the list, making fifty-nine in all. These counties are so well distributed over the infested area of Kansas as to leave but little doubt that those intervening are likewise supplied with fungus.
The widespread occurrence of Sportrichum over the state was recognized near the close of Dr. Snow's investigations in the '90s, since in one of his later reports (the 5th), we read the following: "We may conclude from these experiments that Sportrichum was pretty generally prevalent throughout the state, and that probably in many localities there was no necessity for its artificial distribution in 1895"
The prevalence of chinch-bug disease in Kansas soil once established, the next question pressing for solution was the practicability of sowing more fungus in fields known to contain it naturally already.
A solution was sought by actual field experiments in which relatively large quantities of fungus were used, sometimes on entire fields, other times on small plots where, in consequence, an intensive artificial infection resulted. While diseased chinch bugs were used to some extent in artificial infection, they proved inadequate because of the small amount of fungus available. Spore material for field work was generally obtained from cultures grown on a mixture of corn meal and potato juice. By the use of this medium, large quantities of fungus were propagated in the laboratory. Its spores were tested from time to time in order to be assured of their power to produce disease in living chinch bugs.
With the exception of the experimental fields in one county (Anderson), there was already an abundance of Sporotrichum naturally present in the soil, manifested by the whitened carcasses of its victims. These were generally in such large numbers and were so widely distributed, that it seemed utterly futile to add any more fungus, since it was such a trifle by comparison. Nevertheless, twenty experimental fields, distributed over five different sections of the state were treated with Sporotrichum spores. In some, the artificial infection was confined to small plots of wheat, fifty feet square, with the expectation that the intensive infection would start an epidemic of the disease that would spread and kill a large proportion of the bugs. Not only did the plots fail to become centers of contagion, but there was no appreciable difference between treated plots and the untreated, or check plots which were always used as a basis of comparison. General field infections were likewise failures. Considering the twenty localities as a whole, there were all sorts of conditions of humidity and rainfall, also character of soil. The results, however, were always the same, never any appreciable effect due to sowing spores, and never anything more than a small percentage of the bugs killed. The bugs victimized by the fungus were as numerous in an untreated plot or field as in a treated one, the numbers bearing no relation whatever to artificial infection but rather to climatic conditions, shade, moisture, etc. The evidence in every instance was overwhelming against the artificial use of fungus as being without effect and hence useless since the fungus naturally found in the soil really accomplished what destruction of chinchbugs there was.
The third problem to be solved was the practicability of artificially treating a field with Sportoritichum when the fungus was shown to be scarce or at least ineffective. Three fields, one at Garnett, the others at Colony, were of this sort, and the plots in all of them were liberally dosed with fungus. Small areas were treated, as well as entire fields, and diseased bugs were used as well as culturally grown fungus; but scarcely any effect could be produced as measured by mortality among the bugs. No epidemic could be started nor the death-rate appreciably increased, even in marked spots that were given specially large amounts of infection.
Conclusions from all the experiments may be summed up as follows:
1. The chinch-bug fungus is present naturally in fields everywhere throughout the infested area in Kansas.
2. It is present in such great abundance that any artificial distribution of infection in a field would be too insignificant by comparison to be of practical use.
3. Its distribution naturally through a field is much more uniform and general than any artificial distribution can be made.
4. The amount of fungus used experimentally in both wheat and corn fields was so far in excess of any that would be used by the farmer in infecting his own fields that he could not reasonably expect to succeed.
5. The fungus disease shows little tendency to spread from centers of artificial infection. The apparent rapid spread of the disease is due to favorable conditions bringing the spores of the disease naturally present into activity simultaneously over considerable stretches of territory.
7. In fields where the fungus disease is not in evidence, spores introduced artificially have no measureable effect
6. In fields where the natural presence of the fungus is plainly evident, its effect on the bugs can not be accelerated to any appreciable degree by the artificial introduction of spores.
10. Moisture conditions have much to do with the appearance of chinchbug disease in a field, artificial infection nothing.
8. Apparent absence of fungus disease among chinch bugs in a field is evidence of unfavorable conditions rather than lack of fungus sores.
9. All the benefits of the Sporotrichum disease of chinch bugs may be realized by merely letting the fungus naturally present in the soil, do the work of extermination as far as it will.
11. Spent adult chinch bugs succumb to attack more readily than younger ones, but as the old bugs have finished depositing their eggs their loss by fungus disease accomplishes little else than increasing the amount of infection material
12. Laboratory experiments can be made to prove that artificial infection accomplishes results upon bugs confined in cramped quarters; but in the field where fresh, and usually drier air prevails, and food is abundant, an entirely different situation is presented.
13. Advocating artificial infection or encouraging it by sending out diseased chinch bugs does not serve the best interests of the farmer, since his attention is thus diverted from other and truly efficient methods of combatting the pests.
14. The reported successes of former years on the part of farmers, are believed to be due to the following causes:
1. Failure to recognize spontaneous outbreaks of fungus disease following the artificial sowing of infection; and also failure to use check or untreated fields as a basis of comparison, thus claiming the outbreak as directly due to the artificial infection.
2. Failure to recognize the skins of molted bugs, thus mistaking them for dead bugs;
3. Mistaking the scattering of chinch bugs in corn fields for evidence of their death by fungus disease, when carcasses were not present as proof.

TRIP OF TUMBLERS FINANCIAL FAILURE
UNIVERSITY TEAM LOST MONEY ON HOLIDAY TRIP.
Receptions Hearty, but Attend ance Poor—George Babb, One of the Tumblers, Injured.
The University tumbling, team under the direction of C. B, Root returned from its first trip on Friday, December 23, after a tour which was virtually a financial failure even though the reception of the members of the team was all that could be desired. The poor houses which supported the team may be explained by the fact that such an exhibition was entirely new to the people of the state, so they hesitated in giving their support to the entertainment. However, Mr. Root says that he has not the slightest doubt but that on another such trip his team would receive hearty financial support at every town that he could make. A short spring trip in the eastern part of the state is now being contemplated.
George Babb was slightly injured while performing a high dive at the entertainment given at Hutehinson on Wednesday, December 21. His injury was of some stomach muscles and was not of a serious nature. He was enabled to continue the performance of the evening.
BURNED IN GAS EXPLOSION
Trouble Began in a Manhole When Harold Wilson Struck a Match
To be in a raging furnace of fire and escape with only a few burns on the face and hands was the experience of Harold Wilson, a junior in the School of Engineering, last Friday night.
Wilson had been assisting Roy Spear in taking data for the latter's thesis. They had entered the man-hole at the intersection of Lee and Kentucky streets several times during the evening for the purpose of testing the sewer age water and the rate of its flow
At 10 o'clock, while Spear was at t is room working on his calculations. Wilson with a lantern made the trip alone. The lantern went out and when a match was struck to relight it, a large amount of illuminating gas which had collected in the man-hole exploded.
The paper with which the boys had lined the manhole to protect their clothing was ignited and Wilson was surrounded by a sheet of flame.
Wilson's clothing caught fire and in endeavoring to put out the flames his hands were badly burned.
He was taken at once to his room where medical attention was given the burns. It is probable that he will be able to attend classes by the latter part of the week. Wilson was a member of the track team last spring.
A monument to Colonel William A. Harris, once United States senator from Kansas, is to be erected on the campus of the Kansas State Agricultural College.
James Bullman Nackman
His forehead and cheeks were badly scored and his eyebrows singed, though his sight was uninjured.
The fact that the man-hole acted as a chimney and gave a strong draught upwards was the only thing which saved Wilson from more serious burns.

PRACTICE FOR SQUAD GETS INTERESTING.
fashions for the season.
Former Football Captain Did Not Lose His Amateur Standing, as Reported.
"The kind of team that we will have this year," said Coach Hamilton, "is still uncertain. Several new men will play on the team this year and there is always danger of these men becoming confused when they are on the floor against the team from another school.
Tommy Johnson, who was reported to have joined the ranks of the professionals and who, it was said, intended to forego and other year on the basket-ball squad, has reported to Coach Hamilton for practice. Johnson did not lose his amateur standing by his work during the holidays, and is eligible to play the full season.
Captain Heizer, who was considered the star center in the Missouri Valley last year, is doing far better this year both jumping and in goal shooting than he has ever done in years before, and Verne Long has improved much at his position at forward.
"The men have hard work before them every night from now until the first game with Nebraska on January 13, and the men who will open the season are those who do the best in practice," says Coach Hamilton.
The men who are making good at forward are V. Long, Johnson, Dausman, Stuckey. Watson, and Wheelock, of whom V. Long Johnson, and Dausman have the preference. Those playing guard are Larson, F. Long, Young, Eiisele, Hite and Hesse; Larson and F. Long have the best of the argument so far.
The squad will have three K men back this year, Heizer, Johnson and V. Long, and Larson, who failed to win his K last year only by a close margin will be back as his old position at guard. "Happy" Martindell whom Coach Hamilton had planned to use at guard, has been declared ineligible on account of five minutes of play in the fall term three years ago. Martindell is now coaching the Haskell Indians.

VOLUME VII
METHOD HAS BEEN SIMPLIFIED FOR STUDENTS.
PLAN NEW SYSTEM FOR ENROLLMENT
All Will Be Registered at the Gym on January 21.—The Advisors.
A new system of enrollment for College students for the spring term has been installed. Instead of having the four classes enroll in different buildings, as was the custom before, the entire College will be enrolled in Robinson Gymnasium on Saturday, January 21.
"The prime factor in causing the committee to make these arrangements," said Professor Sisson chairman of the arrangement committee, "was to get all the advisors together. Before if an advisor wanted counsel on a point it was necessary for him to go to another building and sometimes two. But with our present play everything will be centralized Dean Templin will have a desk in the center of the floor. The different class advisors will have desk at different places in the room. The committee on special students will also have a desk. Our object is to have a process of enrollment within one building so that enrollment will begin when the student enters the room and will be complete when he leaves."
The advisors will be at the gym from 8 to 12 a. m., and from 2 t 5 p. m., on Saturday. The following week enrollment will be in process each school day from 4:30 to 5:30 p. m. Each class will form in separate lines.
After passing the advisors the student will have his card passed upon by the assignment committee. When his card is accepted by the assignment committee the enrollment is complete.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1911
Tte senior advisors are Professors Walker, chairman; Becker and Kester. Junior advisors are Professor McClung, chairman, and Bilings. Sophomore advisors are Professor Rodgers, chairman, Flint and W. S. Johnson.
The freshmen women advisors are headed by Professor Hedger and the men by Professor Sisson The date for enrollment in the other schools has not been set.
Not a Case in Hospital.
For the first time for a number of weeks there is not a single patient confined in the University hospital. According to Dr. Chambers, the University physician, this condition is probably due to the recuperation of students during the holidays.
Mr. C. E. Pile of Parsons will be the speaker at Friday's chapel.His subject will be "Anglo Saxon Liberty." Mr. Pile is a lawyer and an ex-president of the National Anti-Horse Thief association, of which he is an active member.

CHANGE IN SCHEDULE.
Opening Basket-Ball Game Will Be Played With Baker.
A slight change in the basketball schedule has been made for this season. Instead of playing the opening game with Nebraska on January 13, as was originally scheduled, Baker will be played on that date in Robinson gymnasium. Nebraska will be played on February 10 and 11, the dates previously arranged for the Baker games. At present it is thought that the University will be unable to play the Kansas City Athletic club, because the management of the latter has been unable to secure a suitable court for the game to be played upon in Kansas City. In case the games with the Kansas City Athletic club are cancelled, those dates probably will be filled by the Kansas State Agricultural College.
INTER-SCHOOL MEET.
Events Will Begin in Gymnasium Next Monday.
The annual inter-school track meet will begin in Robinson gymnasium Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The schedule for the meet is posted on the bulletin board in the gymnasium and every man who has had any experience in track work is expected to take part in this meet.
This is the last local meet that the students can take part in before the indoor meets with Baker University, the Lawrence Y. M. C. A., the K. C. A. C., Missouri, and probably St. Marys.
Tumbling Team Will Perform.
The University tumbling team which made a tour of several western Kansas towns during the Christmas vacation, expects to put on the main part of their show at the gymnasium preceding one of the basket-ball games. Although the trip was not a financial success, Director Root is not discouraged and by having a series of tumbling matches in the various schols here he expects to create an interest in this branch of athletics that will give it the importance in the University of Kansas that it has in the schools in the East.
Charles W. Whitehair of Topeka, state student Y. M. C. A. secretary, will speak at the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting tonight at 6:45 in Myers hall. His talk will be in regard to the University gospel team which spent last week at the state reform school.

FAYORS PLAYING GAME AT K. C
PETITION SENT TO CHANCELOR AND REGENTS.
NUMBER 37
Student Council Asks that K. U.
M.-U. Battle Be Not Moved—
Other Plans for Students.
"That the general and prevailing sentiment of the student body of the University of Kansas favors the retention, for the present, at Kansas City of the annual Kansas Missouri football game," was the resolution adopted by the Men's Student Council last Tuesday evening under its express power to "voice student sentiment in all matters of undergraduate concern."
To enable the students to ratify this action, meetings were called in all the schools of the University yesterday where the matter was presented by members of the council. In every school the action was ratified, though the attendance at some of the meetings was small.
The statement of the action was communicated to the Chancellor and to the Board of Regents today. A copy also was sent to Mayor Brown of Kansas City, who will preside at the banquet given there this evening by the Missouri and Kansas alumni for Chancellor Strong and the Board of Regents. It is the object of the Student Council to convey to the Regents what it believes to be the wish of the student body.
The Men's Council will entertain during the remainder of the year, all visiting athletic teams during their stay at the University. No banquets will be given, but all other possible means will be taken to make their visits to the University enjoyable.
The entertainment committee of the Council was instructed to make further plans for a "University night"which will probably be given in March. This "stunt" has met with great success in other Universities, being an entertainment by the students and of especial interest to them.
It practically was decided that a Students' Day will be given a short time before commencement, being a revival of the custom that existed some years ago at the University.
Felt Earth Tremors Here.
The seismograph at the University recorded an earthquake in Asiatic Russia, January 3, which is the most violent that has been recorded since the seismograph has been installed.
The tremblings started at 5:39 a. m., and the preliminary shock lasted until 6:12 when the most violent waves were recorded and lasted until 6:40; the last tremblings were recorded at 8 o'clock. To Prof. H. P. Cady, who reads the machine the distance seemed to be 8,000 miles and the direction northwest. This proved to be exactly right and the time was identical with that given out in the reports of the observatory at West Bromwich, where the oscillation was so violent that the needle collapsed.
GOSPEL TEAMS SUCCESSFUL
Y. M. C. A. Boys Spent Holidays in Religious Work.
The three gospel teams sent on by the Y. M. C. A. of the University during the week of December 26-January, 2, bring back reports of successful and profitable meetings. The movement was a state wide one, teams being sent out by the Y. M. C. A.'s of the various Kansas colleges. The work that the men set themselves to do was to show the people of Kansas that college life really has a religious side to it.
D. C. Martindell, W. C. Mayer, and Fred Lee, under the direction of C. W. Whitechair, state secretary of college Y. M. C. A.'s, composed the team which spent the week at the Reform School for Boys, at Topeka.
The second team sent out from here included T. N. Hill, C. A. Nash, H. C. Herman, and Aller Wilber. This team went to Linn, where in addition to the regular religious meetings held at the churches they played basket-ball with the high school boys, and had a "college night" at the opera house. College songs and yells including old "Rock Chalk" were given, and a one-act playlet presented.
PLAN AQUATIC SPORTS
The team sent to Haskell was under the leadership of Harry Heinman, '07, now of Washburn. The K. U. men on the team were Harry Osborn and William Caldwell The program was much the same as those of the others.
Engineers to Hold Swimming Matches in the Gym.
The engineers have taken it upon themselves to arouse enthusiasm in aquatic sports, Emile Grignard being the leader in the movement. Already the mechanicals have organized a team and elected Robert Fisher captain. The chemicals electricals, and civils will meet some time today and perfect their organizations. Inter-school contests will be held soon in Robinson gymnasium, the first taking place Thursday evening, January 12, between teams representing the different branches of engineering Later meets will be arranged with the other schools of the University and also with the different Y. M.C.A. teams throughout the country. Dr. Naismith will have charge of all the meets. On Saturday morning the chemicals will hold their practice swim at 11 a.m.
The events are as follows:
50-foot dash, 50-foot back swim,
50-foot team rescue, 100-foot swim,
(feet tied), 100-foot dash, 100-yard
swim (six times length of pool),
plunge for distance, fancy diving,
400-feet team relay.
Winds Prevented Flights.
Harry Elliott, one of the builders, said this morning that it would be some time before the tests could be made.
The University students who constructed an aeroplane which was to be tested during the holidays, were unable to carry out their plans on account of the high winds that prevailed. The machine could not be taken from its shed on Haskell avenue.
THE NEW HOSPITAL TO KANSAS CITY?
LITTLE DOUBT THAT THE BUILDING WILL GO THERE.
No Final Vote Taken Before This Evening—No Decision in K. U. M.-U. Football Matter.
The new $150,000 clinical hospital of the University will, in all probability, be located at Kansas City, Kan. While the Board of Regents had taken no definite action up to a late hour this afternoon, it was stated by Regent W. Y. Morgan that there seemed to be no possibility that any other town would be chosen as the place of locating the new building.
The matter of location has been under consideration by the Chancellor and Regents for several weeks. It was referred to the physicians of the state and a large majority favored Kansas City as the logical place for the clinical institution. Lawrence, Topeka and Wichita also were considered.
One hundred thousand dollars of the total cost has been asked of the coming legislature by Chancellor Strong. The remaining $50,000 will be taken from the improvement fund of the present Rosedale medical school.
The matter of retaining the Missouri-Kansas football game at Kansas City also was before the Regents this afternoon. No final vote on the retention of the game there was taken. It is understood that Regent Morgan favors the playing of the game in Kansas City, but that the majority of the Regents are for the removal to Lawrence and Columbia in alternating years. There is a possibility that the question will be decided in Kansas City tonight, when the Regents and the Chancellor are entertained by Kansas City merchants. However, the whole matter might be deferred until the members of the governing board return from Des Moines, Ia.,where they go tomorrow to attend a conference of the heads and executive boards of the Missouri valley schools.

ONCE MORE—FOOTBALL.
Student sentiment apparently has reversed itself in the matter of playing the Kansas-Missouri football game at Kansas City. At a mass meeting last spring resolutions were adopted recommending that the game be played at Lawrence or Columbia on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving; but that was done at a time when football seemed in danger and some concession was believed to be necessary to save it. Nobody is camping on the trail of football just now. The game seems safe enough, and as many of the students would prefer to go to Kansas City to see the annual contest with Missouri they have made their preference known to the Regents, in the recommendations adopted by the Student Council Tuesday night and ratified at the various meetings held yesterday.
The alumni of the University and the business men of Kansas City will ask the Chancellor and the Regents at Mayor Brown's dinner tonight to keep the game at Kansas City. It would be surprising if the men of Kansas City did anything else. But there are many students who don't particularly care to go to Kansas City and many alumni not residents of Kansas City who are strongly of the opinion that the two universities should continue to play the game at Kansas City for some years to come. They base their opinion on the argument of financial expediency. The income derived from the Kansas City game for years has been the main factor in keeping the athletic association out of debt and promoting the development of athletics at the University. A new athletic field is needed at the University and these students and alumni believe that the last game of the season should be played at Kansas City and the income devoted to building the new field. This in the opinon of The University Kansan, is the strongest reason that can be urged for playing the game at Kansas City.
The plan is met by the fundamental objection on the part of some of the Regents that athletics already costs too much at the University—that a return should be made to simpler forms of sport which will not require the expenditure of large sums of money. This is understood to be the stand taken by Regents Gleed and White. Their minds have
been made up for quite a while that the time has arrived to restrict college games to college grounds. It is hardly likely that anything will be said at the meeting tonight in Kansas City that will shake their views.
If the ruling fails anywhere it probably will fail at the Regents' conference in Des Moines tomorrow. Nebraska is said to be dissatisfied with the ruling, though it is not know whether the dissatisfaction extends to the governing board of the University. It has been reported, too, that Missouri would like to see the ruling changed. If Missouri and Nebraska unite in opposition to the rule at Des Moines tomorrow, there is a good chance that the game will continue in Kansas City; otherwise it will be played on college grounds next year.
"Tommy" Johnson seems to be maintaining much the same mystery regarding his intentions in basket-ball this year that he kept up for a time last fall regarding his football playing. Some time ago he said he believed he would not try for the team this year, but would spend the season coaching and officiating. At present he makes non-commital replies when asked what he intends to do. It may be a significant fact however, that he refused to take pay for his services in officiating at a game recently, thus preserving his amateur standing. The chances are that "Tommy" will be throwing baskets for K. U. when the season opens.
Now we are to have a poets' club at the University. It seems that the students are not letting anything get away in the line of organizations. It is said that the first effort of the new club will be to break up the trust which Walt Mason has formed in Kansas poetry.
The engineer is the modern alchemist. The discussions at the American Mechanical society at the engineering building today, range through the dominions of air, water, and fire; and the modern engineer can do more with these "elements" than the old philosophers ever dreamed of.

Registrar Geo. O. Foster has placed in his office a chart showing the enrollment statistics for the University from the time the Preparatory School was established in 1866 to June 1, 1910. The enrollment for the first year was 55 and the faculty numbered four. Now the faculty numbers 137. The chart shows the enrollment of all schools now in existence and those which have been discontinued.

University Comparisons of Meteorological Records Are Made.
The meteorological summary for 1910 issued by the University of Kansas and continuing the record kept by the late Dr. F. H Snow, from 1868, indicates that the averages for the year did no differ materially from the mean averages for the forty-two preceding years. Yet the figures for some of the items present quite a difference from the yearly averages.
The entire depth of snow for 1910 was but 12.7 inches, which is 8.2 inches below the annual average. The entire rainfall including melting snow was, nowhere 37.78 inches, which is .84 inches above the annual average.
The highest temperature for the year was 104 degrees on July 26th, and this temperature has been equaled or exceeded during only six of the preceding years for which a record has been kept. The mercury reached or exceeded 90 degrees on 25 days, which is 9 days below the annual average. Of these hot days naturally the largest number were in July, but one was in March and two in April.
December, 1910, was nearly a normal December compared with the forty-two preceding Decembers of which the University of Kansas has a record. The early part of the month was rather dry but the heavy rain in the 28th and 29th brought the precipitation within. 01 inch of the mean of 1.41 inches for December. The mean temperature for the month was 31.24 degrees, which is only .03 degrees above the December average. The highest temperature was 58 degrees on the 14th and the lowest was 10.4degrees on the 8th.
The Seismograph recorded eight earthquakes during the month, all except the one on the 10th being slight and distant.
WORKED FOR CHARITY.
Missouri Sorority Girls Distributed Dolls to Poor Children.
Sorority girls at the University of Missouri posed as "Big Sisters" to the poor children at Columbia at Christmas time. They obtained about one hundred dolls through the generosity of the "Big Brothers," the fraternity men, and then spent a week preparing clothes for the dolls which were turned over to the Columbia Charity society and the Christian associations in time for Christmas distribution.
Each sorority had one of its members act as a commissary agent. These representatives visited the Columbia stores at which their organizations traded and requested toys and good things to eat, to add to the supply of dolls which the poor children were to receive. Most of the families benefited were those depending on the coal mines for a living and the work in the mines is not always regular.
The "Big Sisters" also undertook, at the request of the Columbia charity organization, the task of selling Red Cross Christmas seals, the proceeds of which were to go to the Anti-Tuberculosis society. The sororities made a competitive contest by having each society see how many seals it could sell in a certain time.
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey was elected president of the New England society of Lawrence, which held its sixteenth annual dinner in the city during the Christmas holidays. The organization consists of two hundred people who came from New England or who boast of New England ancestry.

KENNEDY AND MOSSE ONLY SEEMED TO SPEAK.
Spencer Baird, the Voice's Master, Amuses Himself With Ventrilolquistic Stunts.
Spencer L. Baird, the right guard of the Jayhawker eleven during the past season, is something of a ventriloquist. Many of the dull moments on trips taken by the squad were enlivened by the jokes which his ventriloquistic powers enabled him to play upon unsuspecting victims.
On the Drake trip after the conductor had found three stow aways on the car occupied by the team and was still slightly sus picious, Baird so controlled his voice that he seemed to be carry ing on a conversation with some one underneath the seat. Th "con" came around to his sea poked under it and gruffly i quired, "Where is that fellow who is hiding around here?"
After the dinner that was give to the squad by "Con" Squires last fall, Baird asked in his deceptive tones whether "Con" was setting up the cigars. Con looked all around but was unable to place the speaker, so he asked what was said. Baird repeated the question and this time it appeared that the speaker was Coach Kennedy. This surprised Squires for he knew that the men were not allowed to smoke, but he expressed his willingness to "come through" if the coach was willing.
On another occasion during a dinner at the Eldridge, two couples from the University came into the dining room, while the team was at the table. The men who were with the girls were well known to all the players. Baird expressed his surprise that they should be dining at the Eldridge, that they were such "fussers," and asked if any one knew the girls who were with them. He threw his voice so that the speaker was apparently Arthur St. Leger Mosse. The two victims of the joke called Mosse to account when they saw him after the meal.
Baird says that he picked up his "stunt" from observing professional ventriloquists at shows, and has since perfected it through practice.
Honor Enough at Home.
J. E. House, of the Topeka Capital, says:
"Harry Kemp wrote a Christmas poem for Collier's which the editor of that periodical rejected. The poem is printed in the current number of the University Kansas and in a column editorial the editor of Collier's is roasted to a frazzle for rejecting it. Which reminds me a little of my own experiences. My contributions are nearly always rejected by the magazines, but the Kansas newspapers always speak of them in the most complimentary terms."
Hadley Commends Frats.
College fraternities were commended by Governor Hadley in a speech before the national convention of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon, recently held in Kansas City.
"College fraternities are doing good work in the schools," he said. "I assure you of my hearty sympathy in your ideals."

Lawrence Choirs Dwindle in Size During Holidays.
STUDENT SINGERS MISSED
The organist at the Episcopal church of Lawrence is Melvin Kates, a student in the School of Law. He is the only student doing instrumental work in the churches, but 90 per cent of the choir singers of the Lawrence churches are students of the University of Kansas. Of this number, ten are soloists. Over half of these seventy singers are students in the School of Fine Arts, and several are members of the University Glee club.
Lawrence choirs are exceptionally good. There is a student body of 2,500 to select members from, and among this number are some of the best young voices of the state. Future vocal teachers, chorus leaders, and even grand opera singers are hidden in the ranks of that student body.
During the summer months and on Sundays that come during holidays the church goers of Lawrence miss the voices of the students; and in most instances the church choirs have shrunk to quartettes of the old village choir type.

Katherine Parker, Athlete and Scholar, Says College Women Make Good Wives.
Northwestern Mut. Life In. Co
L. S. Beege. 1415 Mass.
Wellesley, Mass.—The fair maids at Wellesley are indignant at the statement made in one of the current magazines that the college girl can't cook, makes an impractical and discontented wife, and is in class B with the brought-up-at-home, uncollegiate girl.
Miss Katherine Parsons, Wellesley's leading athlete and scholar, speaking today for the Wellesley students, said:
"The impression seems to be that the college girl is destined ultimately and by her own volition to become an old maid. It is laughable. A fact that may help to correct that impression, may be gleaned from college statistics, which prove that seventhings of all college girls marry. "However, perhaps that has little to do with the assertion that the college girl makes a poor an inadequate wife. Here at Wellsley the great majority of girls can cook, sew, darn stocking-perform (if called on to do so), all the little domestic service which mean so much to happiness. Indeed, from the very nature of higher training, the development of analytical powers, tact and character, it is reasonable to infer that the college girl is best fitted of any class of women to make an ideal housewife.
"College life and college training tend to make the girl well balanced, controlled and patient. In college the girl learns the lesson of respect for the rights of others.
"College teaches the relative value of clothes; that is, it displaces fine clothes in the feminine mind as the most important asset in life.
"Money also gets a setback Happiness, true happiness, is given en its high place and the college girl is its highest exponent.
"At home the college girl, if the home demands it, is fitted in spirit and practice to take hold and help in times of stress. She is more than a mere evanescent being fed on sweets and fripperies; far more. This latter idea of the college girl is too silly to deserve consideration.
"If a girl at Wellesley has a tear in her gown she mends it.
tear in her gown she mends it.
"The majority darn their own stockings; many of the girls make their own clothes. We can take care of our rooms and there are two houses in which students do most of the work. They cook and perform all but the heaviest duties. This sort of training teaches the college girl to be economical. It teaches her food values and in the end makes her twice as able to manage a home.
"The wife who has received a college education can do her work with greater skill and in less time, for she has learned the value of system.

FOOD MAY BE A LUXURY.
"Regardless of the career and regardless of social standing, the girl possessing a college degree is twice as able and twice as beneficial to herself and those around her."—New York World.
Professor Bailey Warns Against Waste in Buying Foods.
A timely question raised by Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, of the University of Kansas, in the Popular Science Monthly for December is "When does a food become a luxury?" The superficial flippant answer is--when a trust gets hold of it.
But Prof. Bailey is of a university which gives much attention to practical economics, and he warns the American public against the growing waste of money for food that gives no adequate return either in nutriment or in heat producing value. There has been a sharp discussion as to whether alcohol is in any sense a food. If it is it must be counted none the less among the luxuries. Common sense says the same about candy, which is also a food—no one buys chocolates for utilitarian reasons. The same may be said of game and of expensive imported fruits; the ordinary consumer instinctively classes them with the luxuries and is not tempted to buy them.
The case is a little different with the choice cuts of beef and mutton; it is hard to get over the feeling that beef is beef—the standard food of ordinary people in America, and that to buy the best cuts is legitimate. Yet the high prices obtaining of late have done much to reinforce the teachings of the economists, and multitudes of families are for the first time learning to utilize and enjoy the cheaper and tougher, but equally nutritious cuts.
Prof. Bailey's complaint is directed, therefore, principally at the habit of buying prepared foods without investigating the relations of their food value to the price paid. Selling in sealed packages he considers a great forward step in hygienic grounds, but at present he considers the cost excessive. For example a bushel of wheat worth $1 may when converted into "breakfast food" cost the housekeeper from $5 to $12. So we are using luxuries for food, which is like burning mahogany for fuel. There is still a great deal of educational work to be done in the field of kitchen economy.—Springfield Republican.

At a meeting of the basket-ball section of the Missouri Valley Conference at Des Moines, last month Dr. Naismith represented the University of Kansas. The interpretation of the rules was the main business.. It was decided that a player on receiving the ball standing still could advance one foot in any direction while passing it, but, on receiving it while running the ball must leave the hands before the second step. A new rule was also made prohibiting running into or charging into a man. The player must watch out where he is going as the game is to be a no contact game.

TO FORM COLLEGE BASKET-BALL TEAM
WILL PLAY CURTAIN RAISERS TO 'VARSITY GAMES.
Plan Made Because of Restriction to Schedule of Varsity Five— Class Squads, Also.
Owing to the fact that the Missouri Valley Conference ruling does not permit the basket-ball team representing the University to play more than eighteen games in one season, a team is being organized in the department of the College which will have a regular schedule with some of the other schools and colleges in Kansas and Missouri that the University team cannot play. The present plan is to have the games played by the College team as the curtain raisers for the evenings that the varsity five plays. This College team will be selected from the men in the College only, W. O. Hamilton will act as coach.
Plans have also been made for basket-ball teams representing the four classes in the University. Aside from the regular freshman squad of former years, there will be sophomore, junior, and senior teams which will play regular schedules among themselves. The suits for these teams have been ordered by the athletic management and are expected to arrive within a few days. All the teams will elect their own officers and will conduct their organization themselves as much as possible. Coach Hamilton also expects to tutor the class teams. Ten men will form the roll of each squad.
Coach Hamilton says, "We are doing this for the benefit of those men in school who like to play the game but at the same time are not good enough players to make the varsity squad. A great number of men in school would rather play a poorer game themselves than watch a squad of fourteen experts who compose the 'varsity play a good game. It is for these men that we have formulated the plan and we expect this to lead to more complete athletics in the University. In the case of the success of this plan and if the men have enough of the right kind of enthusiasm, not that old "class fight" kind, but a good wholesome enthusiasm between the different departments of the University, we may organize teams to represent the schools."
LAWRENCE VS. FORT SCOTT.
High School Debating League Is at Work.
The inter-scolastic debates which are being held between the members of the Kansas high school debating league, are now taking place in the districts. As the Lawrence high has defeated Bonner Springs and Rosedale, and Fort Scott has defeated Garnett, the contest for championship in this district will be held between Fort Scott and Lawrence.
The department of extension has many calls for clippings to be used by the debating societies. For this reason, donations of magazines of all kinds would be appreciated.
A course of six lectures will begin this month at Emporia. Prof. J.E.Boodin will have charge of the course.
THIRTEEN K. U. OFFICIALS
Former Students Are Selected in Missouri Valley.
The approved list of basket-ball officials of the Missouri Valley conference for 1911 includes the names of thirteen graduates of the University of Kansas. This gives Kansas the greatest number of officials of any school in the Missouri valley. Nebraska and Missouri come next with five each. Iowa has three, Drake and Ames two each, and Haskell, Washington, William Jewell, Cotner (Neb.), Grinnell one each. The are thirty-one other officials who either are graduates of Eastern schools or not accredited from any school, but live in the Missouri valley.
Those approved from Kansas are F. C. Allen, Jay Bond, Alpha Brumage, T. W. Johnson, D. C. Martindell, W. J. Miller, Nels Ocherblad, E. C. Quigley, C. B. Root, Chas. Siler, C. L. Waring, and Earl Woodward. Dr. James Naismith and W. O. Hamilton are also on the approved list as graduates from other schools.

INSTALL MILLING COURSE
Pennsylvania to Teach Scientific Manufacture of Flour.
The Pennsylvania State College has installed a course in flour milling engineering, thus making Pennsylvania the first state in the Union to establish a course in milling, which will teach young men its scientific methods. Germany and Australia have several schools in which such courses are thriving.
CITY WATER SUPPLIES.
Milling is one of the few large industries of the country into which the college man has entered very little. The general custom in milling has been for a young man to learn the trade and keep at it as learned. A few tradesmen who have inventive genius have made improvements now and then, but no extensive scientific experiments have been conducted for the purpose of improving the process both in economy of manufacture and in perfected product.
Prof. Hoad Talked of Engineering Feats of Ancient Times.
By means of the new course Pennsylvania expects so to teach the scientific method of milling that the men securing that knowledge will, after a few months of practical training, be qualified to do scientific milling by which they will get the best out of the grain and give it to the consumer in the best form. The school will have the full equipment of machinery that is found in the most up-to-date mill and will also have laboratories for testing the products and methods.
Prof. W. C. Hoad spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on the methods used by various ancient cities to secure water for domestic purposes. He described in some detail the tunnel constructed in the eighth century B.C., that Jerusalem might be supplied with water from the natural reservoir separated from the city by a hill. Professor Hoad also told of wells in Egypt and in Yucatan, from which water was laboriously drawn by man or mule power.
Farber----Davis.
Professor Hoad said that the Romans had the advantage over other peoples in building aqueducts because of their knowledge of hydraulic cement.
Minnie Farber of Hoxie, and Brett Davis, both former University students, were married Christmas day. Mr. and Mrs. Davis will make their home in California where Mr. Davis is practicing medicine.
Mary Atwood, a junior in the School of Pharmacy, has returned to the University. Miss Atwood has been absent since Thanksgiving when she was called to her home in Clay Center because of the death of her father.
There was no meeting of the Chemical club yesterday. At the regular meeting next Wednesday Emile Grignard, a senior engineer, will speak on "The Process of Lithographing."
Prof. Erasmus Haworth of the department of geology, spent four days during the holidays at Coffeyville, Independence and Chanute inspecting the oil and ga wells.

WILL PLAY GAMES IN COLLEGE TOWNS
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1911
GOVERNING BOARDS RATI FIED FORMER ACTION.
The Program of Athletic Reform Drawn Up Last Year Will Be Enforced at All Points.
The governing boards of the institutions of the Missouri Valley conference in their second annual session at Des Moines yesterday reaffirmed the action they took a year ago regarding the playing of inter-collegiate contests on college grounds. Consequently, the next football game between Kansas and Missouri will have to be played at Lawrence or Columbia. The hard fight which the alumni of the two Universities in Kansas City and various business organizations made to retain the game in Kansas City was unsuccessful.
Only one member of the Kansas delegation, Regent W. Y. Morgan, was in favor of keeping the game in Kansas City. Only one member of the Missouri delegation, President A. Ross Hill, was in favor of taking the game away from Kansas City. But the majority of opinion in the conference was in favor of confining The vote by institutions on the question stood 5 to 1. Even if college games to college towns, Kansas had voted against it, the motion would have carried.
Along with the provision that games must be played on college grounds is one that requires that no games shall be played on Thanksgiving day. An exception was allowed in the case of Drake and Ames, which have a contract to play one more game on Thanksgiving day. An exception in the rule forbidding professional coaches was allowed in Iowa's case. Iowa already has a contract with a coach for next year.
President A. Ross Hill was made president of the conference for the ensuing year, and Lincoln was chosen as the place where the next annual meeting will be held.
To Regulate Fraternities
regulate Fraternities.
The next move of the conference of governingboards may be in the direction of regulating University fraternities, according to a statement made last night in Des Moines by Regent William Allen White. A committee was appointed in the course of the proceedings yesterday afternoon, consisting of the presidents of the various institutions represented, to confer with fraternities for the purpose of eliminating some of the alleged fraternity evils.
"There is to be a fraternity reform," declared Mr. White, "but is to be a reform by friends, as most of the men who will have charge of the reform are fraternity men who are prominent in the various organizations. There must be some reform, but it will not be radical."
Floyd Beale, a senior in the College, has accepted a position as instructor in mathematics and history in the Leavenworth high school. He expects to enter the University again next year.
NUMBER 38
MAY PLAY SUMMER BALL.
And Still Be Eligible for the Varsity Nine.
A small change was made in the baseball rulings by the Missouri Valley Athletic conference at its last meting in Des Moines It was agreed by the faculty representatives that a college man might play summer baseball providing no admission were charged to the games in which he played Otherwise, the representative stood pat on thebaseball question
"I do not think that the change made by the faculty representatives will have much effect in relieving the baseball situation in ragerd to professionalism,"was Manager Lansdon's comment today upon the ruling.
Professor C. E. McClung, the faculty representative of the University of Kansas has not yet returned from the conference. The exact purpose and supposed effect of the new ruling will not be known until he returns and reports upon the change.
The petitions of the Kansas State Agricultural College and of Washburn College for admission into the Missouri Valley Conference were discussed at some length, but the conference decided that it would not be best to admit other schools at the present time.
It was also voted to incorporate the Missouri Valley Conference. Several changes were made in the eligibility blanks which are used to certify the eligibility of those taking part in collegiate athletics.
HE DEFINED LIBERTY.
C. E. Pile Spoke in Chapel Yesterday Morning.
"The liberty of the Anglo-Saxon people," said C. E. Pile of Parsons n discussng that subject in chapel yesterday morning, "is different from that of any ancient people because of the emphasis that is placed upon the individual man."
"Just doing as we please is not liberty," said Mr. Pile. He defined freedom in man as his voluntary action in harmony with the laws which should limit the sphere of his acts. The spirit of individual life by which a man chooses to do certain things was named by the speaker as one source of the liberty which we enjoy.
Besides outlining the other sources of Anglo-Saxon liberty Mr. Pile discussed the tests of the civilizations coming from a liberty-loving people. He emphasized the institution of the home as the great test of civilization.
The geology classes of Prof. Todd and Twenhofel made an inspection today of the quarries in the river bluffs east of Lenape, a station on the Union Pacific, about sixteen miles east of Lawrence. They left on the plug at 9:06 and expect to return at 5:50. The object of the trip is to study some of the common fossils found in the limestone of this region.
Study Local Fossils.
There will be no more vesper services until the last Sunday of the month when Rev. Charles M. Sheldon of Topeka will speak.
TO GET GENEROUS APPROPRIATIONS
K. U. TO RECEIVE GOOD SUP PORT, SAYS SEN. BRADY.
While a Try for Economy Will Be Made, School Will Not Be Stinted.
"There is little question that the legislature will deal generously with the University and the other schools," said Senator J. L. Brady, who represents Douglas county in the upper house, today. "The members of the coming session are going to try to make a record for economy. Appropriation bills probably will be more closely scrutinized than ever before. But that doesn't mean that needful and necessary expenditures will be cut down. The legislators will be as anxious to avoid penuriousness in providing for the state's education as they will be to avoid extravagance. The precedent has been established that the educational institutions shall be well cared for, and the present legislature may be expected to do the right thing by the schools."
The legislature of Kansas will meet in biennial session at Topeka next Tuesday. The session is of great interest to the University and to all the other state educational institutions, as the legislature will determine the financial support they are to have for the next two years.
Just before the opening of every session, a crop of stories springs up about how some states man intends to save money by cutting down the money appropriated for education. This year was no exception, but it is unlikely, according to Senator Brady, that the men opposed to the schools will be able to exert much influence.
Carl Cannon, a junior in the College, returned Thursday morning from Oklahoma , where he was called Tuesday to testify in the Crowe murder trial. Crowe, who is a policeman, is on trial for shooting another officer. Cannon, while a reporter on the "Oklahoman" last summer, was an eye-witness to the crime, which occurred in the police station.
All the members of the law faculty will go to Topeka next Wednesday and Thursday. There they will attend the State Bar association meting. The classes in the school will continue during their absence.
Prof. L. E. Sisson of the department of English will deliver the chapel speech Tuesday. Professor Sisson is chairman of the freshman advisors' committee. He will tell of some of the problems of enrollment and the general principles that the students should remember.
Mrs. Win Heinicke of Idaho is spending the week at the Chi Omega house. Mrs. Heinicke attended the University two years ago.
The members of the Phi Delta Phi fraternity gave an informa'dance last evening at their chapter house.
TO DEBATE SHORT BALLOT
Colorado Team Wants Kansas to Take the Negative.
Word has been receiveid by Prof. G. A. Gesell of the department of public speaking from the University of Colorado to the effect that their debating team is to debate the negative side of the short ballot question with Oklahoma University, and is desirous of debating the affirmative side with Kansas. Prof. Gesell thinks that this arrangement would be of great advantage to Kansas, since the Kansas team will take the affirmative side of the same question when it meets Oklahoma. Both teams would therefore have an opportunity to debate both sides of the question. The one difficulty is that both of the debates have been scheduled to take place in Lawrence, but these plans may be altered.
The debating council held a meeting. Thursday afternoon and decided to write to Colorado suggesting a change.
FOR PURE DRUGS.
Dean L. E. Sayre at Pharmacetical Meeting in Topeka.
Professor L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy, met the committee from the State Pharmaceutical Association and the representatives of the State Board of Pharmacy at Topeka Friday. The men engaged in drafting a bill for the purpose of correcting abuses of the food and drug act throughout the state by certain dealers who are evading this law on technical points. The bill is now in the hands of the legal authorities who are preparing it for the meeting of the legislature.
Sociologists Met.

To Build Station.
WALLS OF THREE BUILDINGS SETTLING
Thomas Puckett, a freshman pharmac from Galena,has pledged Sig Alph.
ONE WALL OF FRASER HAS DROPPED FOUR INCHES.
Wall in Medic Building Leans Inward and Cross-Walls of Snow Are Settling.
The fact that the walls of some of the older buildings on the campus are settling badly of late is causing E. F. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds much concern. Of these the Medical building is in the worst condition. One of its walls leans inward badly and looks as though it might topple over at any time. The north and south cross-wall in Snow hall is also settling; and the southwest corner of Fraser hall is four and a half inches lower than the northeast corner.
When Fraser hall was built, the foundations were laid in clay instead of bed rock and there was no basement. Afterward when the basement was built the foundations were propped in places to prevent more settling and the foundation in some places was extended down to bed rock.
In the biennial budget which Chancellor Strong sent to the legislature this year sufficient funds to cover the cost of repairing the walls were asked for. If this money is granted work of strengthening the walls will be started immediately.
Grignard Heads Swimming.
At a meeting of the chemical engineering society yesterday Emile Grignard was elected captain of the swimming team to represent the chemical engineers in the swimming meet. It was also decided to give a stag banquet at the Eldridge, house the last week in March. The committee appointed to look after the arrangements is: Grignard, chairman; Schwab and Griffin.
Gathered Clay and Shale.
Prof. W. H. Twenhofel, assistant professor of geology, took a trip through southeastern Kansas during the holidays in the interests of the State Geological Survey. He visited the most important towns in that portion of the state, including Pittsburg, Chanute and Humboldt. He gathered clay and shale samples at the various brick yards and is now making chemical analysis of them
Professor R. D. O'Leary of the department of English, who is now at Oxford University, recently sent the University some Oxford magazines. Professor O'Leary went to England last August and is now studying at that university. He is on a year's leave of absence and will not be back until next fall.
Prof. W. S. Johnson of the department of English yesterday gave the first of a series of talks to supplement the freshman English work. His subject was, "Readings From Dante."

TIME TO GET BUSY.
Now that the University governing board has voted to stand by its own action taken a year ago regarding athletics, the matter may be regarded as settled and the activities of the University should be turned toward getting awards in shape to conduct athletics according to the new poney. One tiring demands immediate attention: the selection of a coach who will take charge of the chief University sport, football. The Regents owe it to the students of the University to find a coach without loss of time, in order that the new regime may be inaugurated with as little disturbance to sport as possible. As matters now stand, Missouri is in better shape than any other school in the Missouri Valley conference Brewer, the M. U. coach and director of athletics, was on the job at Columbia as soon as the 1910 season in football had closed. By this time he doubtless has a good idea of what he is going to do next year. A striking contrast is presented in Kansas. Here every thing is still "up in the air." We have still to find a coach, and to make him acquainted with conditions after he is engaged. With every week of delay a still greater handicap is placed upon Kansas. It is up to the Regents to "get busy" at once.
The decision to play the Kansas-Missouri game at Lawrence or Columbia will open the way for many interesting developments. The Kansan does not believe for a moment that sport will become extinct at the University just because the great spectacle at Kansas City has been discontinued but it will be modified in many ways by the change. Sport will have to get along on less money, for one thing. The problem of lowering successfully the "standard of living" will prove a difficult one in athletics as elsewhere. Interest in the contest with Missouri probably will be lessened to some extent, though not a great deal; and this loss of interest is likely to be compensated for by increased interest in some of the other games.
The Regents of the University for the first time went counter to the recommendations of the Student Council, when they decided against playing the last game of
the season at Kansas City. The argument which the Council urged for keeping the game at Kansas City was that the University needed a new stadium and the money derived from the Kansas City game would come in handy in building it. The experience of former years does not indicate that the University would have a stadium very soon if it depended on the surplus from the Kansas City game to build it. After many years of financially successful contests there, the stadium is as far from being a reality as ever. It seems paradoxical that the stadium can be built at the same time that the Athletic Association's income is being cut down, but it would not be surprising to have it turn out that way. With the big game coming to Lawrence, the need of a stadium will be felt as it has never been felt before. When the feeling of need becomes keen enough, steps will be taken to satisfy it.
DO WE NEED A SCHOOL OF MEDICINE?
The hard work which the Regents of the University have been doing to secure for the state of Kansas a good school of medicine has been objected to by some persons who brought forward the query, "Does Kansas need a medical school?" There can not be too many good schools of medicine. In spite of the triumphs which science has won over some diseases, many problems yet await solution. It should not be possible to say of the state of Kansas that it is willing to spend any amount of money to fight hog cholera, but is unwilling to spend money for the study and treatment of human ailments. The following editorial from the Topeka Capital indicates the important field which the new University School of Medicine will find waiting for it:
Statistics now show that since 1880 tuberculosis as a cause of death before the age of 40 has decreased by 48 per cent, typhoid by 42 per cent, diphtheria and group by 80 per cent while smallpox has become almost a negligible quantity. In this period the general death rate has materially decreased, the reduction being almost wholly due to the saving of ives from communicable diseases and the prevention and arrest of epidemics.
A less gratifying fact is that above the age of 40 the general death rate has been and is on the increase, and this mainly because diseases of old age, affections, namely, of the heart and other vital organs, as the arteries and kidneys, show themselves seriously at an age much earlier than in former generations. Evidently this effect is to be attributed to prevailing conditions and customs to the fact that people work less out of doors, draw too much on their vitality by brain work and are far more than in any former age engaged in sedentary occupations. Since 1880 cancer as a cause of death has increased 104 per cent, and diseases of the heart arteries and kidneys have steadily increased, in all periods of life from childhood. Maladies properly belonging to old age, or what may be called the actual symptoms of the age of the body, are reaching down to the younger ages.
President Rittenhouse, of the Provident Savings Life, from whose report the above statistics are taken, remarks with a good deal of force that although diseases of the heart, arteries and kidneys kill every year in this country a population equivalent
to that of Indianapolis and tuberculosis sweeps away as many lives as the population of the city of Paterson, yet as progressive a state as New York spends for the protection of game, fish and forests four times more than it expands for the public health, and 148 American cities expend for the health of their people less than 2 per cent of their revenue.
The above notice on one of the bulletin boards in Fraser hall created no little amusement. Of course it was put up by some jocular person who was hard up for some mode of whiling away the weary hours. However, if one would reflect a moment, it would be seen that this might not be such a joke after all.
"Notice :— Tryout for next year's football coach will be held at the gym at 4:30 tomorrow. All faculty members urged to attend."
Since the coaches must in the future be members of the faculty, it would require only a little stretch of the imagination to believe the above notice. Of course every faculty member has the right spirit and would be on hand for the tryout. The ladies of the faculty would also feel a certain amount of responsibility devolving upon them, and might serve tea during the tryout.
CHOOSING A COACH.
One tryout of course would not be sufficient and a series of eliminating tryouts would be necessary. The contestants would have to show their endurance by probably a fifteen-mile cross country run, and demonstrate their ability at line-bucking on the brick pile in front of the gymnasium. Of course this would go only,a short way toward proving the ability of a contestant, but after a series of such tryouts a coach could be chosen.
After the tryout, all classes would be dismissed until the vacancies in the depleted faculty were filled again.
It has long been flung in the faces of American students, who have developed in their athletic sports a great desire for victory when their teams are contending with rival colleges, that Englishmen have a better notion of athletics, which enables them to applaud a skillful play even when a rival player makes it and causes them to place the emphasis not upon the final score, but upon the way in which the playing is done. We have often wondered just how English students manage to gratify the human satisfaction of having "put one over" the opposition in the final outcome of some contest. An article in "The Varsity," a publication of the Oxford undergraduates, seems to throw some light on the question. The article tells of one Saturday night when the students assembled to hear bulletins from the English elections, and of the demonstrations which ensued when Unionist or Liberal candidates forged ahead in the announcements. The description of the gathering remind us of the appearance of the bleachers when the rival American teams line up ready to snap the ball.
"ROOTING" IN POLITICS
"In that hall, as in hundreds of places throughout the kingdom, men--young men—with fevered faces and with flashing eyes, full of the burning fires of fervid patriotism, sat waiting with a tense and terrible patience to hear the verdict of some grand, enlightened, reasoning electorate upon some somber statesman's fate."
And this might have been touchdown:
"As each decision, Unionist or Liberal was announced last Saturday night, men—young men—sprang electrically to their feet. Pure patriotic passion squeezed their lungs. By that irresistible enthusiasm which is, perhaps, not the antithesis to, but the logical outcome of, cold judgment and ripe reason, their vocal chords were established and made strong. Volleys of cheers, tumultuous, terrific, swept to the approving heavens. There were gesticulations of noble jubilation. There were unblamable boos, high charactered cat-calls."
Does the Englishman like to win? Well, rather, it would seem Doubtless things were said or that Saturday night that would look just as bad in print as does the "Kill him," which the American crowd sometimes hurls at the opposition player who seems to be a little too much for our boys. Now that "The Varsity" has shown us that the English student does have moments when he "cuts loose" in the joy of beating somebody, we can cease to hate him for being held up to us as a model of impossible sportsmanlike virtue. That he chooses politics and not athletics as the excuse for his lapse from dignity and sanity is a small matter. Indeed, it may be a shrewd choice. We have heard that the English elections stretch over an unconscionable time.
University spirit of a valuable kind seems to have survived ever the abolition of the professional coach. A subscriber to the UniversityKansan in California sent a three-dollar contribution to the fund that is being raised for Nate Miller, on reading the story of the aged janitor's need.
Those Library Pests Again.
To the Editor of The Kansan:
To the Editor of The Kansas:
There are pests and pests. The shelf-worn variety, many times mentioned and always to be endured who "mooch" books from the library. Then there is the well-known species lately referred to in the columns of the Oread Magazine who try to monopolize an instructor's time in class by a continuous display of their preocous intellectual attainments.
But of all these troublesome, bothersome, tantalizing, pestiferous pests, "he and she,"—it is usually this sort of a combination—who get together in the small reading room at the library and persist in talking out loud and giggling while they peruse the columns of the home paper, deserve the premier honors for their display of asininity.
Of course the folks at home do excurciatingly funny things from the "college kid" angle, and the country editor's manner of describing home events is "simply killing." However, to the average person, these newly-discovered idiosyncracies of the local population in any locality in Kansas, isn't sufficient provocation for the disturbance made. In fact, such titter and prattle is most distracting, and sometimes causes the sufferers to wish the racket-makers would go to——some place else!

NO DECISION WAS REACHED IN K. C
THANKSGIVING FOOT BALL QUESTION WAS DEFERRED.
Discussion at Merchants' Banquet Consumed Entire Evening—Settled at Des Moines.
The meeting of the Board of Regents of the University of Kansas and the curators of the University of Missouri, together with the heads of both schools, held in Kansas City Thursday night came to naught so far as deciding the future of the Kansas-Missouri football game is concerned. It was expected by many that the matter would be decided finally at that time when a banquet was tendered the representatives of both schools by the Kansas City Commercial club. Indeed, the discussion of the question occupied the entire evening. The matter was proposed by the representatives of the Kansas City business man and those constituting the governing boards of the two schools were given an opportunity to express themselves on the subject.
Both Chancellor Strong and President Hill declared that they were open to conviction, but did not commit themselves in favor of or against playing the game at Kansas City. None of the regents or curators voiced his opinion.
The banquet closed with the assurance that the matter would be settled fairly at Des Moines. At the Missouri valley conference there yesterday it was decided that the game should be played on collegiate grounds.
Those at the Kansas City banquet included besides the governing bodies of the two schools alumni representative of both Kansas City officials and business men.
MAKE GOOD SHOWING.
State Schools Train Few Less Pupils Than Denominational Schools.
While there are four times as many denominational and private schools in Kansas as there are state educational institutions the total enrollment at the state institutions is almost as great as that in the denominational and private institutions. The state has more than three times as many teachers as the other schools.
There are five state schools—the State University, the State Agricultural college, and the three State Normal schools. The enrollment in these schools for 1910 was 8,004, while for the thirty-seven denominational and private schools the total enrollment was 9,812. The total enrollment for the state schools for 1909 was 7,522 and the enrollment for the denominational and private schools for the same year was 9,624. The total number of teachers employed in the state schools is 480. In the private and denominational schools it is 108.

C. W. White the Only Maker of Small Pipettes.
HAS A MONOPOLY.
C. W. White, the instrument maker for the University, is, at present, working on an order of pipettes, which will be sent to North Carolina, when completed. The pipette is an apparatus used in microscopic work for the removal of certain bacteria so that they may be studied separately from others of their class. It consists of a small glass tube which has been heated and drawn out, forming capillary tubes. These tubes are mounted on a mechanical stage, and the whole apparatus kept in the field of a microscope. By means of this stage the operator is able to move the capillary until he has it directly over the specimen which he wishes to study, then by means of a rubber tube, which is attached to the large end of the capillary tube, and held in his mouth, he is able to draw the specimen up into the tube, and move it to any place that he wishes.
The separation and transportation of bacteria by means of this scheme was first suggested by Dr. M.A.Barber, of the University faculty, and the first instrument was designed and constructed by Mr. White.
Within the last year, eight pipettes have been made by the University instrument maker, who seems to have a monopoly on their manufacture and sale, since his laboratory is the only one in the United States where they are made.
A LOAN TO A FRESHMAN.
The Griffin Memorial Fund to Be Assigned.
The Mrs. A. J. Griffin Memorial scholarship which was created last spring and was turned over to the committee of the students' loan fund for assignment to some member of the freshman class, is now open to application by any member of the sophomore class for use during the spring term. The original plan of the scholarship was to make the assignment in the spring to a member of the freshman class, who should use the money during his sophomore year.
The assignment of the scholarship was received at commencement time last year and it was given to George D. Greaver. Mr. Greaver was unable to return to school this year, so he consented to have the committee re-assig- the fund for use during this spring term. The fund of $50 per year is now in the charge of the committee composed of Professors S. J. Hunter, B. J. Dalton and M. W. Sterling.
Dean L. E. Sayre went to Topeka yesterday to attend the conference between the representatives from the State Board of Health, State Board of Pharmacy and the committee on legislation of the Kansas Pharmaceutical Association. The purpose of the conference was to make the state's food and drug law so effective as to eliminate all loop-holes for the introduction of adulterated drugs and medicines.

THE COLD WEATHER RETARDS BUILDING
ADMINISTRATION BUILDING READY JUNE, 1 HOWEVER.
Despite Weather Conditions a Large Force of Men Are Pushing the Construction Ahead.
Work on the new Administration building has been retarded somewhat by the cold weather. Cement will not set as well under real winter conditions as it will when the temperature remains above the freezing point, and for that reason, the concrete work has been suspended. The supporting columns, and the floor of the front steps and entry have been set, however, in addition, of course, to the lower foundation walls.
There is a force of three brick-layers and their assistants at work on the outside wall, and about 20 per cent of the terracotta is in place. In a terra-cotta building, each block of the material is burned to fit into its own particular spot, and when one piece is lost or damaged in shipment, its place in the wall must be blocked up with brick until a new tile can be ordered from the factory, but as each piece is marked with a number denoting the tier and course it is to occupy, replacement is comparatively easy.
The terra-cotta used in this building comes from St.Louis,and the brick for the backing and inside walls are burned in the state penitentiary kilns at Lansing.The outside walls are thirty inches thick, about ten inches being terra-cotta, and the rest brick masonry.
The contractors expect the building to be finished within the time limit, which ends June 1. 1911.
Willard—Dolman.
Miss Alice Willard of Topeka was married to S. G. Dolman at Phoenix, Ariz., on December 27, 1910. Mr. Dolman was a member of the graduating class of the School of Engineering in 1910, and is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He is now employed as a mining engineer for the Arizona Copper Mining and Smelting company at Ray, Arizona.

NEW EQUIPMENT FOR UNIVERSITY K. N. G.
CONSIGNMENT OF UNIFORMS RECEIVED THIS WEEK.
Target-Shooting Work Adopted
—The Company to Give Military Ball in Gymnasium.
The University company of the Kansas National Guard has just received a consignment of new uniforms. The equipment includes the heavy regulation winter top-coat with hood attached, the blue parade dress suits with cap to match. Already the commandant has sent in his requisition for equipping the entire company with heavy marching shoes.
A target range has been fitted up in the basement of the gymnassium for sharp-shooting at the 50 and 75 yard range. The heavy army rifles have been fitted with special equipment for the use of the militiamen to be used at short range, thus giving the militiamen the opportunity of having a mid-winter indoor target shoot.
On the evening of February 22 the local company will give a military ball in Robinson gymnasium having as guests over twenty commissioned officers from over the state. A regimental band will furnish music for the occasion.
It is believel by the K. U. guards that the assignment of equipment does not mean a possibility of war,but merely that the militiamen will hereafter be better equipped.
Examined Earth Fissures.
During vacation Professor Erasmus Haworth made an investigation of some peculiar and large fissures which have lately appeared about twenty miles southwest of Dodge City. The largest of the fissures is about 300 yards long and three feet wide. Another is about fifty yards long and two feet wide across at the widest point. The exact depth of the fissure has not been found, but a lariat forty feet long failed to touch the bottom. It is said that smoke issued from the cracks when they appeared, and the neighboring ground rumbled and shook. Professor Haworth was unable to determine the cause of the phenomena during his short visit and will probably made a further investigation as soon as possible.
C. M. Drennan, a former student in the School of Engineering, has been visiting at the University this week. He is now superintendent of apprentices in the railway department of the International Correspondence Schools of Scranton, Pa. His headquarters are in Chicago.

Legislator Visited University.
Hon. M. J. Frey, of Junction City, the newly elected legislator from Geary county, visited the University Wednesday and was shown through the various departments. Mr. Frey belives that the members of the legislature should know something of the institutions for which they appropriate money and he was much interested in learning the needs of the University. Mr. Frey is enthuastic for higher education and believes that Chancellor Strong is asking for only such funds as are necessary for the continued growth of the University.

COLUMBIA GETS GAME NEXT FALL?
Missouri Declares the Annual 177 Mile Trip for Twenty Years Entitles It to First Game.
"The annual Kansas-Missouri football game will probably be played at Columbia next year," was the statement made by Manager Lansdon this morning relative to the place of the annual Thanksgiving game, which by the recent action of the Missouri Valley Conference, must be played upon college grounds.
"The Missouri students have put in a strong claim for the game at Columbia, basing their argument upon the fact that for twenty years they have made the annual pilgrimage of 177 miles to see the game and that now the should have the first game played on their grounds."
As to the ability of Columbia to handle the crowds which might attend the game, Manager Lansdon thinks it can easily be done although the facilities for getting in and out of the town are poor.
It is probable that the athletic boards of the two Universities will decide upon the place for the game, contrary to the prevalent impression that the power of decision would rest upon the heads of the two schools.
Should the next game be played at Columbia it would give the athletic management here plenty of time to get ready for the immense crowds that would attend the following year.
Prof. C. G. Dunlap of the department of English went to Fort Scott today. There he will deliver a lecture on "Shakespeare" before the Teachers' Association. This is one of the series of lectures arranged for Fort Scott by the University extension department.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1911
NUMBER 39
WOMEN OF THE UNIVERSITY MAY APPEAR BEFORE LEGISLATURE TO PLEAD FOR APPROPRIATION
Plan for Descent Upon the Legislators Is Now Under Discussion by Women's Student Government Association.
What would be the effect on a member of the legislature of having a committee of pretty University women visit him and present arguments to show that the University needs every cent of the budget that has been asked for by Chancellor Strong? Would he be able to resist arguments that were put forward by the best looking young women of the state?
The answers to these questions will soon be known if a plan which has come up before the Women's Student Government Association is put into effect.
The plan is nothing less than that all the girls enrolled in the University shall go to Topeka the day the University budget comes up for consideration, and strive to show the legislators that all the Chancellor has asked for in the way of appropriations is necessary for the welfare of the University.
A few of the women students are trying to interest the entire body of girls in the University in this unique method of showing their loyalty to the University and interest in the appropriations that will be granted by the legislature.
Many of the girls have expressed themselves as being strongly in favor of the plan and have promised that they will help, if the plan is adopted by the Woman's Student Government Association. One of the girls who is interested in the movement brought the matter up before the last meeting of the girl's governing body, and the proposal was discussed.
Some of the girls thought the whole thing would be a little too daring, but others expressed themselves as being strongly in favor of the plan. All declared themselves open to conviction and will act on the matter as soon as the sentiment of the whole body of girls on the hill can be ascertained. They prefer at least that the opinion of the Chancellor on the matter can be bad before any further action is taken.
The plan as outlined at present would mean that all girls who are attending the University would go to Topeka on a special train and go to the state house where they would meet the legislators in the lobby of the house and would there by means of arguments which they had already drawn up, demonstrate to the legislators that the University is badly in need of the funds asked for. They would return on a late afternoon train.
If such a plan should be adopted it would devolve upon the men of the University to provide for the expenses of the trip by furnishing twenty-five cents each. If all the boys contributed this sum would be sufficient to take all the girls of the University to Topeka and back.
The date of the swimming meet between the different branches of engineering has been changed from Thursday evening, Jan. 12, to Wednesday evening, Jan. 11. Freshmen are not eligible to compete in the meet. Dr. Naismith will be starter and some members of the faculty will referee. All men students are invited to witness the meet.
Class Swimming Matches
Edward Taylor, a junior in the College, is the originator of the plan, which some of the members of the Women's Student Council have taken up enthusiastically.
Eye Shade Blew Up When He Smoked Up
No, cigarettes didn't do it, but a briar pipe did. Last week Joe Riordan, sophomore engineer, was seated in his room, after a hard day's work on the hill, and before starting on an evening's study he took his trusty pipe from its lair and, having duly primed it for duty, adjusted his eye shade and started the fuse to burning.
But there is where the mistake was made. A course in chemistry ought to have warned him that eye shades are inflammable. As he was enjoying his siesta a spark from the engine lighted upon his eye-piece and immediately there was blinding fire, much smoke, and a pungent smell. Today Today Joe Riordan is applying huge quantities of mentholatum to a badly "arsoned" face.
Sue Burgess of Olathe, Kan. spent Saturday and Sunday last at the Chi Omega house. Miss Burgess was a sophomore in the College last year.
Prof. C. C. Young, of the department of water analysis, has gone to Eskridge, Kansas, for water samples.
Lois Brown, a sophomore in the College, has just returned to the University after a severe attack of pneumonia.
"BASEBALL FIRST COLLEGE SPORT TO GO"-MCCLUNG
"The current is setting in more strongly than ever before against fessionalism in the team could be any college athletics and as baseball is more open to criticism on this score than any of the others it is liable to be the first to go," said Prof. C. E. McClung today.
Weather Man Says a Cold Wave Is Coming
Professor McClung expressed his belief that the matter of professionalism in the tea mecould be undertaken better by the Student Council than by the Athletic board for the reason that they had a better chance of finding out whether a candidate for the team had played summer baseball and also because in this way the sentiment of the student body could be brought to bear upon the man who attempted to conceal the fact that he had played professional ball. Professor McClung's idea is that an investigation committee consisting of three or five students should be selected by the Student Council to inquire into the athletic standing of members of all teams. The Athletic board meets with evasions or falsehood when it attempts to do the same thing.
"It's up to the students if they want to keep the game," said Professor McClung. "The conference has shown before that they can act decisively on such matters and the students should look the situation squarely in the face and act at once."
Get our your sweater and high top boots. The cold wave is coming. It is due to arrive at Lawrence tomorrow. The foestast for tomorrow is "Threatening weather, colder tonight, with a cold wave Wednesday."
The barometer at the University weather station has been dropping steadily since morning. This indicates that the low pressure area which covered the Northwest states Monday morning is traveling east.
In the Northwest the thermometer registers 6 degrees above. According to all indications there will be a drop of about 50 degrees by tomorrow. The thermometer on the hill registered 64 degrees at 2 p. m. today.
Friction Between Faculty and Presidents' Conferences over Athletics.
TO DRIVE QUACKS OUT OF KANSAS IS WORK OF NEW MEDICAL SCHOOL
Thespian Club Chooses Lask New Director
The attempts of both the Missouri Valley Conference, which is made up of faculty representatives, and the conference of Presidents and governing boards of Missouri Valley schools to dispose of questions concerning athletics resulted in some slight friction between the two at the last conference in Des Mines. Before last spring all matters concerning athletics had been settled by the Missouri Valley Conference, but last spring the conference of presidents and governing boards took matters into their own hands on several important athletic matters which were at the same time being considered by the conference. The opinion of the Missouri Valley Conference is that since they have better opportunities to keep in touch with the athletic situation at the various schools than the regents, who must derive their information from the newspapers, all matters concerning athletics should be turned over to them.
At a meeting of the Thespian Dramatic club held at the Phi Delt house Tuesday evening, Geo. A. Lask was engaged to direct the club for the coming year. He was selected at the instance of Georgia Brown, who, on account of illness will be unable to take charge Mr. Lask has been directing the Auditorium Stock company of Kansas City for fifteen years,serving in the capacity of director, in which position he has gained prominence.
The Thespians will present"The Bachelor," a royalty play which deals with the fashionable adventures of an unfortunate bachelor. It will be presented about February 23, 24 and 25.
Robert Kennedy Duncan Brings New Fellowships
K. C. MEN TO MAKETALKS "WITH THE BARK ON"
Prof. Robert K. Duncan, director of industrial chemistry, is expected here this week from Pittsburgh, Pa. He will bring along several fellowships and possibly the men to fill them. This securing of fellowships for the University from manufacturing companies and the consequent bringing here of men of science is part of his work. Professor Duncan was a resident member of the faculty last year, but now is also director of chemistry at the University of Pittsburg and lives there. This is his third trip out here this year.
"What kind of a talk do you

Dr. M. T. Sudler Declares That Is More Important Than Training New Physicians.
MUST RAISE STANDARDS
Corrupt and Improper Practices Believed to Be More Common in Middle West Than in East.
"The benefit which the School of Medicine will render to the state of Kansas in the next ten years will not be because of the few M. D.s it will be able to turn out in that time, but in the service it will render in stemming the tide of corrupt and illegal practice which is rife in the profession in the state today."
This was the opinion which Dean M .T. Sudler of the School of Medicine expressed to a reporter for The Kansan this morning. The Middle West has plenty of physicians at present, as far as numbers are concerned, Dr. Sudler thinks, but many of the men who are practising have been incompletely educated for their work. Many have been graduated from schools of medicine which could boast neither of competent faculties nor adequate equipment.
"As a result of such training, many physicians are practising who are not only incompetent, but do not hesitate to resort to unethical conduct to make money," said Dr.Sudler. "It is far too common a practice in Kansas and in the Middle West for family physicians to send their patients to specialists who will 'split the bill' with the family physician, giving him a per cent of what is charged for an operation. As a result, the physician is tempted to send his patient, not to the best specialist, but to the one who will pay the largest per cent. I believe the practice is more common in this section of the country than it is in the East, where they are more conservative and make stricter regulations concerning the kind of men who shall practice medicine.
"It is impossible to handle this evil by attacking individuals who are guilty of such practices, and not much can be done by the medical societies. To set higher standards in the profession, and to attract a better class of men to the practice of medicine, is the work which the University School of Medicine has before it.
"The work has already begun. Since the University school was established, a number of smaller schools in the Missouri Valley have raised their requirements. When a year is added to the course of study, it means that the men who have the least regard for the profession will drop out, and the quality of the men who will eventually graduate and set up in practice will be improved."
Women's Council Met.
At the meeting of the Women's Student Government association, held last Thursday, the question of having a students' day in Chapel some time in May was discussed and the conclusions arrived at were very favorable for the celebration. Nothing definite was done about the matter and the meeting adjourned after talking about the entertainment for visiting teams next March.

BASEBALL MAY HAVE TO BE THE GOAT
COLLEGE baseball will this year, it seems, be made the goat on whose head the Sins of Sport will be heaped. Last year it was football, and next year—but why borrow trouble when there is plenty of it already at hand?
when there is plenty of it already at hand?
That college baseball is doomed to go has been vaguely hinted at for some time. Baseball had a bad half-hour in the discussion of the Missouri Valley Conference at Des Moines Friday. The trouble is the old, old one of professionalism. The good men whose labors have eliminated professional football and helped every other college sport have, it seems, grown weary of well doing. In other words they have come to the conclusion that they are trying to do something in the case of baseball that can't be done.
This is the time for the students to come forward and do what they can. The difficulties of keeping baseball clean are greater than the problems of any other college sport. The athletic board has called for help from the students to determine the amateur standing of men who apply for places on the team. Experience has shown that professionals can hide that fact from the athletic board. The question is, can they have equal success if the students become interested in the matter? The student who has knowledge of the professionalism of any player and helps to conceal that fact is only heaping another sin upon the poor goat and hastening the hour when he shall be turned out into the wilderness.
Every profession has its wrongs and abuses and the medical profession is no exception. Dean Sudler's interview on another page of The Kansan outlines the work the University School of Medicine will have to do in putting the profession on a better plane in Kansas and the whole Missouri Valley. The report of the Carnegie Foundation on the baneful influence which cheap medical schools have had in turning out quacks and ignorant practitioners is well worth the study of the state of Kansas, now that the question of organizing a School of Medicine on the best modern lines is up for settlement.
Now that the State Agricultural School has instituted correspondence courses, it is pointed out that it is now possible for the farmers of Kansas to stay at home to do their farming.
ON VACATION.
The University of Colorado has a prose bard who bids fair one day to outrival Walt Mason. On his return from the Christmas vacation he contributed the following on vacation and studies to "Silver and Gold," the University weekly:
Vacations are so blooming short it almost makes me rip and snort; I tear my hair in grief and woe, so swiftly do the good times go. It seems we hardly get away and start to gambol, frisk, and play before a message says with torsity, "Time's up. Come back,—University." And back we come to the same old room, where the fight for wisdom we resume with blood-shot eyes and gasping breath. Dear me! We study ourselves to death! Let not a salt tear dim your eye for that's a glorious way to die. What epitaph could be more sweet than "Death in a recitation seat?" Well, now the holidays are over we find ourselves once
more in clover. From frivolous ways our thoughts refracted, will find themselves no more distracted. Fine dope! From now on we can work, for naught is left to make us shirk! Come, eroon a dull, methodic tune, for we'll study like blazes from now till June; with furrowed brows, near-sighted eyes, we'll proudly win the one great prize; our shoulders bowed from heavy books, we'll lose both health and youthful looks; our happiness we'll sacrifice to enter Wisdom's Paradise! There'll be no more gaiety in the world, for silly joys our flags are furled; henceforth we'll all be sharp-nosed grinds and ultimately lose our minds. Christmas is a beastly bore—let's not have it any more—we could have gotten along without it if no one had ever told about it. Though Sunday be a day of rest, 'twould just suit us for a real hard test. But while we'd eat them up o' Sundays, let's kill the profs who give quizzes Mondays. Ah! is that not a noble thought, in most exquisite meter wrought? Believe me, kid, the greatest blessin' that comes in life is to learn your lesson.

MEN ARE TYRANTS AND DESPOTS SAY WOMEN OF GOVERNING BODY
Man the tyrant, man the despot, ever was, is now and ever shall be. Such seems to be the impression of some persons in and out of the Women's Student Government association regarding the Men's Student Council of the University.
That feeling of indignation, righteous or unrighteous as it may be, has been smoldering for many moons, in fact ever since some rulings made by the men during the earlier part of the year, after which a protest was printed in the columns of this paper by one of the women of the school.
The friends of the men's council insisted at the time that that body was acting entirely within the limits laid down in its constitution, which was duly adopted and ratified by the highest governing body in the University. The argument of the woman who wrote the kick was that the men had no right to legislate in regard to matters which affect the women of the University. No action was taken by either governing body at the time, but the question has since been considered by each.
Those who are well acquainted
with the workings of student government are at a loss to provide any adequate means of getting around the apparent difficulty to which the women are objecting. There are a few questions, in a university, which are attended by both men and women, that pertains to one or the other entirely. In such cases there arises the problem of dividing the work of the two bodies so that there will be no conflict.
The proposition has been made that the two councils might unite and transact the affairs under their jurisdiction together, but it does not appear that this would be a satisfactory way of eliminating the trouble. Without a doubt each council will do better work if it discusses its questions alone, there being a greater possibility that each council will feel more restrained in discussing important questions in joint sessions.
Several members of the advisory committee of the men's and women's councils are thinking of an amendment to the constitutions which would provide for co-ordination of work between the two bodies. Several members of the men's council, when seen Saturday morning regarding such a move were not in favor of the amendment. Their argument is that such a modification will not remove the supposed evil. It would be the purpose of the change to provide for a joint committee of the two councils which would meet for a general discussion of questions that would be brought up at the next meetings of the main councils. The plan as adopted by the men's council at its last meeting provides for such an arrangement, without making an amendment necessary.
The president of the council and one other member were instructed to confer with the president or such other person on persons of the women's council as would be authorized to receive such communications, and talk over the matters which primarily had to do with both the men and the women of the University. This plan will be followed by the men's council during the remainder of their term in office and it is believed by them that it will do away with the necessity of amending the constitution of either council.
CONCERNING COLDS.
Information About Them and the Means of Preventing Them.
The following from a Boston committee on the prevention of disease is endorsed by Dr. H. L. Chambers, the University physician:
"Colds are contagious. They are caused by germs. You catch cold just as you catch diphtheria. The germs of colds are spread from the nose and mouth of one person to another.
"Draughts, wet feet, chilling of the body, and sudden changes of temperature will not in themselves cause a cold (stiff neck and other muscular pains are not here included.) These conditions may weaken the body, help the germs, favor the development of colds and make them worse.
"It is worth noting that arctic explorers never suffer from colds until they become infected from their fellow men on their return to civilization.
"Do not get close to others who have colds.
"Do not use handkerchiefs, towels, and cups that have been used by people who have colds. Even though you do get your cold from your neighbor, don't pass it on."
"Do not neglect a cold. It may lead to serious complications.During the first few days, if you have fever, stay in bed. This will help you and protect others from getting your cold. Take a laxative and use simple household remedies. If these do not help you, call a doctor."
"Do not sneeze nor cough except into your handkerchief.
"You should be able to resist the germs causing colds if you keep your body in good condition.
"Breathe pure air, avoid dust; take regular exercise; get plenty of sleep and rest; eat wholesome food and do not sit for long hours in a stuffy, close room.
"Colds come from bacteria in your mouth, teeth, nose, and throat; therefore, keep these parts clean."

H. T. Martin, of the department of paleontology, recently secured a valuable collection of fossils for the museum from his friend, Mr. Travis Morse of Iola. Mr. Morse, who is an attorney in Iola, has been interested for some years in the collection and study of fossils. The collection which he has sent to the University is well preserved.
Among the fossils there is a specimen of pachyrhizodus that when put together will be as complete as any found up to this time. Several fine fish skulls, the jaws and teeth of an elephant, and a number of small specimens which have not yet been identified are included in the collection.
This is the second valuable gift the University has received from Mr. Morse. Several years ago he gave a valuable specimen of a complete Angomius, a fish about ten feet long, which is the finest fossil remains of the species that has ever been collected.
Potter lake is nearing completion. It will be ready for boating about the middle of March.

As Kansas City Views the New Ruling.
Kansas City Star.
BASKET-BALL SQUAD IS CHOSEN BY COACH
Kansas City has reason to regret, of course, that the Thanksgiving Day inter-state football game has been abandoned, and that the Kansas-Missouri annual game will not be played in this city. However, the claims of Kansas City were well presented. and the decision of the curators was reached in spite of the manifest strength of those claims.
A new policy having been determined, Kansas City will continue to manifest a lively interest in football, and especially in the fortunes of the Missouri and Kansas university teams. It is well, perhaps, that the universities have determined to make the game more strictly a college sport and less of a commercial enterprise. To this end it is desirable, of course, that the games should be played on the college campuses and subject to the closer restraints that immediate supervision afford.
As for the Kansas-Missouri game, since it will no longer come to Kansas City, Kansas City, in fair representation, it may be assumed, will go to it.
Eleven men were chosen last night by Coach Hamilton to compose the varsity basket-ball squad of this year. The men are Captain Heizer, Johnson, V. Long, F. Long, Larson, Dousseman, Watson Smith, Stuckey, Wheelock and Snyder. The line-up for the Baker game will not be announced until the night of the game. The freshmen squad was also chosen but there will be a few changes. It consists at present of L. Brown, Baldwin, BoehmL, Smith, Greenlees, Zabel, W. B. Brown, Mendell and Reed. Dinglested who played on the Lawrence Tourists, may come out for the team.
Ten men will also be chosen for each of the three upper class teams. The College team will be picked tomorrow night. Some of the men who will be on it are Young, Hite, Eisle and Mallei.
Coach Hamilton said: "The Baker team last year played us the hardest game of the season and I understand that this year they have a better team than ever before, so our boys will have to play their best to defeat that aggregation again. The squad has not been playing as good a game since the holidays as before and it will take hard work to get them back into the shape they were, before the game is called. However, I think the men can come back to their old form within a week.
"I tried-out eighteen men for the squad last week and expect to be able to cut the number to ten men soon, now that the real work will begin. Those men who will lose their places on the 'Varsity squad will be given places on the college or class teams. I shall choose the men who play in the games from those who play the best ball in practice, and no man shall be certain that he will play until his name is called the evening of the game. What I want this year is work and the man who does the best work is the man who wins a place on the team. The squad is receiving a work-out of an hour and a half every night at goal-shooting, passing and dribbling the ball, and scrimmage with the freshmen and 'serubs.'
"I think the team that I can choose this year could either defeat the team we had last year or at least hold their own on the floor in Robinson gymnasium, but I am far from confident about the prospects when the boys play
another school. There is always the danger that the new men will become confused and destroy the team-work."
Three open dates remain on the schedule which will be filled probably with K. S. A. C., St. Marys, and Washburn. The schedule as it stands at present is: January 13, Baker at Lawrence; January 16-17, Iowa State College at Lawrence; January 20, Baker at Baldwin; January 21, open; January 27-28, Missouri at Lawrence; February 3-4, open; February 10-11, Nebraska at Lawrence; February 17-18, Missouri at Columbia; February 20-21, Iowa State College at Ames; February 23, Cotner University at Lincoln; February 24-25, Nebraska at Lincoln.

OPEN BASKET-BALL SEASON TOMORROW
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 1911
VARSITY WILL MEET BAK ER IN GYMNASIUM.
Game Will Be Close, the Coach Thinks—Johnson to Play on the Squad.
The thirteenth annual basketball season will open tomorrow night in Robinson gymnasium, when the team meets the squad from Baker University. The Baker team is composed of practically the same material as last year, and Coach Hamilton says that the varsity will have to play their best to win the game.
"The men are in the best physical condition that they could be in for this time of the year," said the coach this morning, "and I am confident that they could play forty minutes without any intermission and better ball at the end of the time than at the start. The men have been showing better form in their playing within the last few days than they have ever shown before this season. Tommy Johnson has been coming out for practice every night this week and his presence has helped the team materially.
"The men are cutting out several of the rough places in their team work; they are passing and catching the ball and shooting the goals much better. The trouble has been that the men tried to play faster ball than they are capable of at this time of the season and the result has been a great deal of fumbling.
Men who are on the squad are Heizer, V. Long, F. Long, Larson Johnson, Stuckey, Wheelock, Watson, and Snider.
"There are eleven men on the squad now and I may start any one of them in the game. I will try to give all experience on the home court."
Both squads of the varsity team were played against one of the class teams and each squad won its game by a large score.
The second game of the season will be played with Iowa State College. It will be played here. The games with the K. C. A. C will probably be played as originally scheduled, providing the management of the club can arrange for courts.
City Employee Let the Chemical Shovel Slip.
The medicated taste which permeated the drinking water on the hill and in the boarding houses today was not the result of an attempt to poison the water supply but simply a case of too much lime, and a dash of calcium-hypochlorite. These chemicals,which are used to purify and disinfect the water, are put in at the city pumping station. Yesterday the engineer's shovel slipped, too much chemicals fell in, and as a result the drinking water has a decided hospital flavor today.
As a curtain raiser tomorrow night the freshmen will meet the college five.
Laura F. Bates of Garden City, a sophomore in the College, is ill at the University hospital.
LIME IN THE WATER.
HEARD "IDLE IDOL."
Howard Enthusiastic Over Ability Shown in Red Domino Play
Joe E. Howard, the composer, who was here Wednesday in his play, "The Goddess of Liberty," gave an hour of his time yesterday listening to the Red Domino production "The Idle Idol." Geo Bowles, Matt Graham, and Moe Friedman, the composers believed suggestions from Mr. Howard would be valuable. A meeting was held at noon at the Eldridge house, which Miss Gertrude Mossler, director of the local play, also attended, and at the end of an hour Mr. Howard expressed his opinion that these students have a production of unusual merit and that several of the song selections are sure to score big hits.
As proof of his interest in the work, Mr. Howard gave addresses of several eastern producing managers together with his personal recommendation, with the result that at the staging of the play, on January 26 and 27, representatives of prominent producing houses in the East may be present. If the play is a success the work will be pushed by these eastern houses and permanent positions as song composers and playwrights may be given to the authors of this college play. Special recommendation was made by Mr. Howard to Mort Singer, his present manager, who will have a personal representative here to witness the production.
Several suggestions were made as to stage effects and musical arrangement and the composers are feeling justly elated that their initial musical comedy should receive such favorable attention from as noted a composer as Mr. Howard.
HAVE SCARLET FEVER?
Scott P. Child, a Kansas City physician, will deliver the first of a series of talks by prominent men of Kansas City at the Y. M. C. A. tonight. He will speak on the relation of the college men to the community. The meeting will commence promptly at 6:45 and be over by 7:30.
Professors Quarantined and a Student in Hospital With Disease
Because of quarantine on account of scarlet fever in their families, Professors H. P. Cady and C. M. Sterling will not be able to meet their classes the remainder of the week. At present four members of the Sterling family and two of the Cady family are down with the disease. There is said also to be several cases in the family of Professor Cone, who lives west of the University. Miss Laura Bates of Garden City, sophomore in the College, is in the University hospital with the same contagion.
Dr. H. L. Chambers, the University physician, says, "I am unable to account for the presence of this contagious fever. However. I think that with successful co-operation of the local health officers, an epidemic will be averted."
First Lecture Tonight.
Glenn Calene, a sophomore in the College, has returned to school after a week's absence on account of the death of his grandmother.
NORMAN HAPGOOD TO VISIT UNIVERSITY
WILL SPEAK TO NEWSPA PER CLASSES JAN. 25.
is Editor of Collier's Weekly and Well Known as Progressive Newspaper Man.
The University public will have an opportunity to see and hear one of the best known journalists of the present day when Norman Hapgood, editor of Collier's Weekly, comes to speak to the journalism classes Wednesday, January 25. Mr. Hapgood will speak at chapel on that day and the following hour will talk to the journalistic students, and others who are interested, on some subject dealing with newspaper work.
Mr. Hapgood's photograph is included in the collection on the walls of the journalism class room at the University. Framed with the picture is the following autographed opinion on the question of preparing for newspaper work:
The editor of Collier's comes to the University on the invitation of Prof. C. M. Harger, director of the work in journalism, and will be entertained by Mr. Harger while he is in Lawrence. Mr. Hapgood is one of the speakers at the meeting of the State Editorial association, which will meet in Topeka the week following his visit to the University.
"The best preparation for newspaper work, in my opinion, is as round, liberal and varied an education as possible. A journalist's task is to think well on many subjects. The surest aid to such thinking is an education which combines strict mental training with the freeing influence of general cultivation."
The subject on which he will speak before the journalism students has not yet been announced
Mr. Hapgood was graduated from the Harvard Law school in 1890, and received the degree of A. M. from Harvard in 1893. He was dramatic critic of the New York Commercial Advertiser and the Bookman from 1897 to 1902, and has been editor of Collier's Weekly since 1903.

The first swimming meet between the schools in the department of engineering will be held in the gymnasium this evening at 7:30 o'clock. There will be seven events in the meet, of which the fancy diving and the "team rescue" exhibition promise to be especially interesting. The "team rescue" is an event in which one man is supposed to be in a drowning condition and his team-mate dives to his rescue. The man who gets his burden to the bank first is the winner of the event. The other events are: 50 foot dash, 50 foot swim on the back,100 foot swim with the legs tied, 100-yard swim, six times the length of the pool, and 400 foot relay with four men on a team.

Announcements have been received at the University of the marriage of Lillah Evelyn Hogue, '09, to Ralph G. Hemenway, '10, at Houston, Tex. January 7. They will be at home at 3108 Holmes street, Dallas, Tex. Mr. Hemenway was until recently editor of the Eudora News. He is now in business at Dallas.
Work on the new street car station at the rear of Green hall will be started very soon, says Mr. E. F. Crocker, superintendent of buildings and grounds. It should be completed by March 15. The station will be of the umbrella type, which is so popular through out the United States. The roof will be forty-nine feet long and sixteen feet wide, set upon three steel columns eight feet in height. Galvanized corrugated steel will form the covering for the roof, that will have a projection of eight feet at the end of the station. The platform will be made of concrete.

CURTAIL POWER OF ATHLETIC BOARD
A NEW RULE ADOPTED AT DESMOINES CONFERENCE.
Missouri Valley Conference Representative Will Be Elected by the University Council.
It was learned today that the recent conference of governing boards at Des Moines actually legislated out of existence the athletic boards of the Missouri Valley as deliberative bodies in matters of intercollegiate scope.
Henceforth the Missouri Valley conference of faculty representatives will be made up of representatives elected by the faculties of the institutions belonging to the conference. In the case of the University of Kansas the representative will be elected by the University Council and will represent the faculties and not the athletic board. From now on the athletic board will be an executive body exclusively as regards inter-collegiate affairs, and will have legislative power only in local matters.
Practically considered, the new rule will not affect the Kansas representative. Dr. C. E. McClung has been acting in that capacity and Chancellor Strong said today hat there was no doubt in the world that he would be returned as the Kansas representative by the University council. But the rule may affect other schools differently.
"Shall the conference of governing bodies treat of athletic matters in detail in the future?" was the question which came up for settlement at the DesMoines conference. The conference decided that it did not wish to take care of athletics in detail, but that the body which performed this duty should not in the future be composed of the members of athletic boards of the various schools, but must be elected by the highest legal body representing the faculties of the Universities, which in the case of Kansas is the Council. The representatives of Kansas at the conference were opposed to the motions and favored a substitute motion which would leave matters in much the same shape a they have been at Kansas, but the substitute motion was lost.
Olympic Champion Will Speak.
The sentiment which prevailed at the conference was that the governing bodies should make such radical changes in the administration of athletic affairs as would give the highest university authorities a close control of athletics under the new regime.
H. F. Porter of New York city will give an illustrated lecture in Snow hall at 7:30 tonight. His subject will be the Olympic Games at London, illustrated with slides. Mr. Porter was a member of the American team in the games at London in 1908. He holds the world's Olympic record for the high jump.

DISSATISFACTION.
According to the Daily Nebraskan, there is considerable dissatisfaction at Nebraska over the actions of the recent conference of University governors at Des Moines, especially concerning the action taken in baseball. There is even a movement on foot to have Nebraska withdraw from the Conference, though the Nebraskan says it does not know how well founded the movement is. The party in favor of withdrawing points out that Michigan's standing has not been injured by withdrawal from the Chicago conference and argues that Nebraska would have equal good fortune in a like movement.
The Nebraskan's advice in the matter is that Nebraska stay in the conference and give the new rules and regulations a fair trial. "Many objections were raised to the one-year residence rule,"says the editor, "but now it is seen that the rule is proper and necessary. Perhaps this is the case with these matters. If such is not the case, after the whole thing has been given a fair trial, then let the student body draw up a monster petition asking the university authorities to withdraw from the conference."
The University of Nebraska is not the only school where dissatisfaction exists over the condition of sport today. The same feeling is widely prevalent at the University of Kansas. The students of Kansas have no intention of asking the University to withdraw from the conference, for there has been no widespread complaint on account of the new rules that have been imposed. But they feel that they have a right to ask the University Regents to carry out in good faith the reforms they have instituted. The question of a football coach has not yet been settled. The delay probably means that Kansas must play under a handicap next year. Naturally the students feel that their interests have not been as carefully taken care of as might have been done.
Even at best, the introduction of new rules into athletics can not be accomplished without more or less friction and criticism. By delaying the selection of a coach the Regents have been contributing to the failure of their own innovation.
"it has always been man's duty to go forth to battle while women remained at home to weep and pray. If the present co-ed movement materializes, it will be the girls who go forth to wheedle and cajole, while the men students remain at home to flunk and pay," says the Lawrence World of the plan to have women present the claims of the University before the Legislature.
AN APOLOGY.
When the staff members of The Kansan sought a little innocent journalistic diversion Tuesday by varying the make-up of the paper from the usual sedate style, it was with the expectation that they would be termed "yellow" by some of the readers. And they were. It is our opinion that the real yellow journalism is not to be attained by any such easy method as merely putting big headlines over news stories. It is a much more complex matter, and The Kansan staff will have to decline the compliment so freely proffered by the readers of the paper. The comments heard on the change were varied in the extreme. One man even went so far as to write a poem about it. The editors meant no harm by the innovation, and when they learned that the sight of last Tuesday's issue had driven one reader to poetry—and such poetry—they decided at once to return to the old style of make-up.

To the Editor of The Kansan:
I hardly know The Kansan since its chaste camplexion flaunts new tints. It's yellow as a homeless cur and fairly shrieks and tears its fur and fumes and seethes in sixty point if anything is out of joint. When girls on statehouse lobbies hedge, or Rep Rho Betas freshmen pledge, or it reports a chapel speech, or some new prof. comes here to teach, or Prof. Day lectures on cake flours, or apple sauce or linen showers; it fairly shakes with rage and runs heads clear across the page.
You seem to see an ideal in the San Francisco Bulletin. The New York Journal's style you boast, likewise the Kansas City Post. And what do these strange things bespeak? What new fame does The Kansan seek? An extra every hour or so? Will red ink run like H2O? May we expect our sight to be assaulted by these heads as we glance o'er The Kansan's jaundiced face each evening at our boarding place:

TRAIL OF GLACIER
TRACED TO POINT
EAST OF LAWRENCE
An important result of the geology expedition to Lenape last Saturday, was the discovery by Prof. J. E. Todd of well marked glacial striae on the bed rock of the river bluffs near that place. These striae, which are scratches made on the rock under a glacier by the load of gravel and stones carried in the ice, are unmistakable evidence of the presence of the great Kansas ice sheet, which disappeared a thousand centuries ago. It has long been believed by geologists that this glacier covered the northern half of Kansas on the southernmost advance of the North American ice sheet, but until last Saturday no incontestible proof in the form of striae has been available further south than Nemaha county.
"The generally accepted evidences of glaciation in this region are the gravel beds and scattered red boulders from Minnesota," said Professor Todd, "but these have been taken by many authorities to be river deposits. This discovery, however, which, by the way, is only the second instance of striae found i nthe whole state of Kansas, is important in that it gives sure proof of glacial action in the Kaw valley.
"The striae are about a half inch deep, in the bluces of the Stanton limestone, about 100 feet above the river at a point eighteen miles east of Lawrence."
Omitted Prof. Glenn's Name.

A NEW UNIVERSITY POET.
Hervey White, a Former Student,
Publishes a Book of Verse.
Teaching a country school in Woodstock, New York, is the means by which Hervey White, a former student of the University gains a livelihood for himself and family, but his real vocation in life is that of a writer. Copies of his latest production, a small volume of poems called "A Ship of Souls," have been received at the University. It is a series of short poems dealing with problems of life, in which the human self is likened to a ship manned with officers and crew of many different personalities. A number of University people who have read the little book say the poems have rare merit and will gain for the author consideration as one of the few writers of real poetry in the country today.
Mr. White has also written several novels and volumes of short stories, but his works have appealed to only a limited circle and have not been "best sellers." Two novels of his, "Quicksands" and "Differences" have dealt in part with rather unpleasant subjects. Mr. White has always pursued his own ways of thinking, refusing to write for the purposes of making money from his fiction. Speaking of his latest volume, a University friend of the author, said he doubted if Mr. White had even submitted the poems to any of the magazines for publication, though in poetic merit they are clearly ahead of much of the poetry appearing in the current periodicals. He was his own publisher in getting out the volume, having himself set up and printed the poems and done the binding of the books.
Hervey White came to the University from Rooks county about 1893. He left Kansas in his junior year and took his degree from Harvard. He spent some time at Hull House in Chicago as one of the workers in the social settlement. His service there has been highly spoken of by Jane Addams
ON COMMISSION PLAN.
Prof. R. E. Price Spoke at Commercial Club Banquet.
Prof. R. E. Price spoke at the annual banquet of the Lawrence Commercial club Tuesday night on the commission plan of city government. He said that commission government is not a panacea for all the ills from which municipalities suffer, but is simply a tool which has been devised to secure good government. Professor Price explained in detail the advantages of the system as they appeal to students of city government in towns where the plan is in actual operation.

Aviation in College Work.
There will be no meeting of the Civil Engineering society Thursday. Mr. W. H. Kniskern of Kansas City will speak before the next meeting of the society a week from Thursday. His subject is "Cement Mills" Construction." Mr. Kniskern is the engineer for the Freeborn Engineering and Construction company of Kansas City, whose principal work is with the cement mills.
From the Minneapolis Journal. That the time is near at hand when courses in aviation will be taught in every university and college in the land, when aviation fields will be built with high towers and sloping fields, when airship meets will push football and baseball for a standing as an intercollegiate sport, and students will go airship gliding for recreation and pleasure, with all the dangerous elements removed, is the prediction of the visiting scientists who took part in the symposium of aeronautics at the university in connection with the convention of the American Association for the advancement of Science. As the first symposium on aviation given before any scientific body of recognized standing, and one participated in by expert physicists and engineering experts of the leading universities of the country, the belief expressed has excellent support. Though there was a difference of opinion expressed as to the way in which the teaching of aeronautics should be done in the universities of the country, scientists were unanimous in the opinion that it is soon to play an important part in university research work. Prof. Cecil H. Peabody, of Harvard University, former professor of mathematics and engineering of the Imperial Agricultural College of Japan, and former naval architect and marine engineer, believes that aeronautics should be adopted by every university in the country.
"The engineering world," said Professor Peabody, "is so far committed to technical education as one source of supply of young engineers that there can be no question that special courses of instruction for aeronautical engineers ultimately will be established by our leading technical schools. In a profession that is forming, all successful workers must be pioneers, and real pioneers are so rare that many must be offered where few will succeed. The course should be offered to undergraduates in order to get plenty. Those who cannot qualify as aeronautical engineers will find places in the great body of engineers who can follow the paths already blazed
may well be built by the university. A plant of this kind at a college would introduce a new sport for the undergraduates, it would develop aviators and, best of all, it would make possible the perfecting of new systems of control at very little expense, since the upkeep of a glider is much less than that of a power machine."
"Now is a good time to start a course in aeronautics. If the financial backing can be obtained, the course and the teacher can grow up together. Those who find their way into the aeronautic service will be worth the cost of the entire course. Those who turn their attention to more conventional branches of engineering will find their enthusiasm transferred with them. I favor an undergraduate course for the reasons given and others that would take too long to express."
Prof. A. Merrill, of the mechanical engineering department of Harvard University, and formerly of the Boston Institute of Technology, says there are many difficulties to be overcome in making a course in aviation successful, but admits that aviation is to play a prominent part in university work. If his prediction comes true, aviation is to serve as a prominent sport in inter-collegiate athletics.
FACULTY IN BASKET-BALL.
"Though I believe that the subject of aeronautics is one that can hardly be treated by the colleges as a course in physics or chemistry, because of the larger element of man than machine that enters into successful flight, aviation fields for gliding flight
One Garbed in Smoking Jacket Was a Star.
Several members of the faculty played a game of basket-ball Monday afternoon in the gymnasium, and the form shown by the professors was so good that they have decided to perfect an organization for the purpose of playing the game at regular intervals. The team that was composed entirely of members of the faculty defeated a team of which three were students, by a score of 16 to 14. Instead of choosing sides as is usually done in such a game Professor Hopkins appointed the members of each squad and the game was started with Frank Nesbitt acting as referee.
Many of the men had played the game years before, and some of their attempts to play as they did then often resulted in grave calamities. Caldwell just could not forget his football and oftentimes he insisted on taking the ball for about ten or fifteen yards through the line. Dykstra did excellent work for the faculty team in the capacity of free thrower and center. The gentleman who played in his smoking jacket was in the game from start to finish despite any cumbersome effect of the garb may have had.
The men who played in the game are Hopkins, Kohman, Nesbitt, Caldwell, Price, Foster, Stelter, Dykstra, Johnson, and Jackson.
An Unique Name.
Professor Erastus Hayward of the Kansas University was in town this morning and called at the Reporter office. Professor Hayward is the head of the department of geology at the State University and each year makes a trip to investigate the oil and gas conditions in this section of the state. He depends on the Daily Reporter for a great deal of authentic information. In speaking of his name this morning Professor Hayward told a story on himself. He was ordering some chemicals from a traveling salesman the other day and that man said that his name was one of those that were not forgotten by the employees of his factory When asked why, the man said that Professor Hayward was the only man in the United States who had such a surname, that bought chemicals from that company.—Independence Reporter.

PLANS TO IMPROVE FISH HATCHERIES
UNIVERSITY ENGINEERS DEVISE PIPING SYSTEM.
State Warden L. L. Dyche Is Seriously Handicapped at Present by Insufficient Water.
If the plans and specifications which have been recently drawn by Prof. W. C. Hoad, and N. T. Veatch, Jr., of the School of Engineering, under the direction of State Game Warden L. L. Dyche, are approved by the legislature now in session, the future fish of Kansas will have just grounds to be truly thankful, since these plans call for an entire rebuilding of the state fish hatchery at Pratt
Ever since Warden Dyche took hold of the hatcheries he has been greatly handicapped by the present conditions, and he is making an effort to put the hatchery on a working basis. At present the water supply comes from an aban doned mill race, which is in a very poor state of repair, so bad in fact, that the keepers cannot tell when they will find their water supply entirely cut off.
The new plans call for the construction of a new pipe line,which will take the water from further up stream, thereby giving a greater fall, and supplying more water to the main lake, from which it is distributed to the other ponds. The new pipe line will be made of 18-inch tile and will have a total length of 10,260 feet. It is estimated that it will deliver something over two million gallons of water per day. This amount of water will remove the disadvantage of lack of water.
A new and larger system of pipe lines connecting the several ponds is to be built. At present the pipes are of such small capacity that it requires from four to six weeks to drain the larger ponds, which made them practically useless, as far as fish hatching was concerned.
In talking of the proposed improvements, Mr. Veatch said: "The new supply will allow the men at the hatchery to know exactly the amount of water they have at their disposal, making it possible to refill and empty the ponds, and change fish, all of which are very necessary for the best results in fish raising. Above all, it will give them a sufficient amount of good, cold, wholesome water at all times."
SHOULDER DISLOCATED.
Miss Ransom Thrown When Her Horse Became Frightened.
The residents on a certain part of Quincy street were very much excited yesterday. The cause of the excitement was a young lady, a horse, and an automobile. The young lady was riding the horse along this street and an automobile being driven in the opposite direction. When they met the trouble started. The heretofore gentle steed became frightened and began to prance. The young lady tried in vain to keep her seat, but the horse persisted and she was thrown, dislocating her shoulder.
Incidents like this may happen, every day to young ladies whose only experience in the art of riding is obtained at a riding school. But the funny part of this story is that this young lady never went to a riding school. She never even took a correspondence course in one. Her name is Miss Mabel Edith Ransom, the young lady who rode all the way from Perry, Ok., to Lawrence to attend the University. And the steed that threw her yesterday was the gentle steed that carried her on this long journey.
FOR LEATHER INVITATIONS.
Seniors Will Discuss an Elaborate Announcement.
The senior class will hold a meeting in chapel on Friday at 12:15 o'clock. The subject of the meeting is to make the assessment and to discuss the advisability of buying leather-bound invitations. Heretofore the invitations have been paper-backed and a movement has been made among some of the members of the class for the more elaborate and more expensive form. The price of those with the paper backs will be ten or fifteen cents while those with the leather will cost twenty-five cents. The treasurer states that the assessment this year will be one dollar if the class expects to carry out their present plans regarding the Senior fare, class day exercises and the sweaters that will be given to the members of the foot ball team.

TOLD OF ENROLLMENT.
Professor Sisson Delivered Chapel Address Tuesday.
L. E. Sisson, associate professor of rhetoric, spoke in chapel Tuesday morning on "The Problems and General Principles of Enrollment." He said there are four causes which lead to difficulties in enrollment, namely, university regulations, conflict of hours, limit of courses, and conflict of outside interests. A policy of reform is not called for, but a wise adjustment between conflicting interests is needed, he declared.
"there is greater danger in scattering too much than in concentrating on a certain subject. Do not set up a number of intellectual camps; what you want is a well built edifice,"continued Professor Sisson. "Give a clear right of way to University work, subordinate nothing to it. A number of students that support themselves do so to get extra pocket money to spend on the nickels and other amusements. Consider the University first and make everything bend to accommodate the main purpose that you are here for."
He also emphasized the fact that it is unwise to change instructors in the middle of continuous courses. The enrollment of the College will begin Saturday January 21.

FIRST GAME WAS EASY FOR KANSAS
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14. 1911
BAKER LOST AT BASKET BALL, 40 TO 17.
Contest Was Close in First Half But Superior Varsity Came Back Strong in Second.
The first inter-collegiate game of basket-ball of the season played in Robinson gymnasium against Baker University last night, resulted in a defeat for the visiting team. The final score was 40 to 17, but the figures do not tell the entire story of the game. The hard and fast game played by the Baker team in the first half made them a rather formidable aggregation, and only their weakening in the last half on account of insufficient training allowed the locals to run the score so high.
However, the varsity was clearly superior to the opposing team throughout the contest. The work of the team, despite some ragged playing gave promise that the high standard set by the squad of recent years will be kept up during the season of 1911.
The playing during the first few minutes of the game was an exhibition of fast and furious ball and it was several minutes before Heizer tossed the first basket. After the first basket had been thrown the scoring alternated between the two teams with neither school obtaining a large lead The Baker boys displayed some excellent team work in passing and dribbling the ball to their goal, but when they were dangerously near the basket, a scuffle ensued and then either "Shorty" Long or Tom Johnson would dart out of the bunch of writhing arms and legs and the ball would be taken to the Kansas end of the court. The score at the end of the first half stood 15 to 12 in favor of Hamilton's men.
The second session of the game, which proved so disastrous for the visitors, started with the same hard playing that characterized the first part, but this time the local squad out-played the Baker men with their superior training.
The boast of Coach Hamilton that his men could play forty minutes without any intermission, at top speed was assuredly verified when the varsity broke up their opponents' team-work at will and literally played rings around them
Probably Johnson did the best work for Kansas, both in playing on the floor and in goal-tossing while Long was a very close second. Long accepted every chance at free throws and many times broke up the Baker team works with his speed and head work. Captain Heizer's playing was below the standard that he has set in former years. He threw two baskets in the first half, but thereafter failed in numerous attempts at goal.
Counts, the Baker center, and Osborn, their left forward,played the star game for the visitors. The score :

MAY FIGHT HOSPITAL
Opposition Said to Be Forming Because of Location at Kansas City.
It is reported from Topeka that there is likely to be a fight in the legislature against the appropriation for the new hospital of the School of Medicine. The physicians of Topeka especially are said to be dissatisfied because the Regents voted to locate the school at Kansas City, Kan., and are anxious to carry a fight before the legislature to have the location changed to Topeka.
Lack of Junior Profits Made Assessment Necessary.
SENIOR CLASS LEVY.
At the meeting of the senior class in chapel yesterday it was voted to levy an assessment of $1 upon each member of the class. Due to the fact that only $15 was turned over to the treasurer of this year's class and that the class has not been making money from the class dances, the assessment became necesssary. The senior classes usually have started the year with a balance of one or two hundred dollars from their junior year. The assessment will be used to meet the expenses of the class day exercises, the senior farce, and half the cost of the sweaters for the members of the class football team
Lawrence Brown, chairman of the invitation committee, presented the matter of covers for the invitations and referred it to the class for decision. The class decided to have two kinds of covers, leather and paper.
Sweaters for the football team were awarded and the class agreed to stand half the cost, the players to pay the other half.
The class was about equally divided on the subject, so it was thought best to have the two kinds.
NUMBER 41
The pictures are to be in by March 1, but if it become necessary to receive any after that date an extra charge will be made. Under no consideration will any picture be received after March 15 says Mr. Russell.
Geo. Russell, manager of the 1911 Annual, spoke to the class about the time limit for receiving senior pictures.
W. M. Hughes, chairman of the cap and gown committee, reported that he hoped to be able to secure the rental of caps and gowns for six days at the same rate as for a shorter time.
FRATERNITIES FREE FROM TAXATION
A LAW OF 1905 EXEMPTS THEM FROM BURDEN.
Chi Omega Sorority and Pi Upsilon Fraternity Have Had Taxes Refunded.
The decision reached by the board of county commissioners of Douglas county last Wednesday that under the Kansas law the property of fraternities and sororities at the University can not be taxed, has caused a feeling of deep regret among all the fraternities that they have been paying taxes since 1905, the year the law exempting them was passed.
Congressman A. C. Mitchell appeared before the board Wednesday in behalf of the Chi Omega sorority and obtained the decision as stated. The taxes which the sorority had already paid have been refunded by the county treasurer. At the same time Ralph H. Smith, a senior in the School of Law, representing the Pi Upsilon fraternity, asked that the same exemption be made for the Pi Upsilon society, which was granted.
The law upon which the decisions were based was passed in 1905. It provides that the house and a half acre of real estate, the books, instruments and furniture of all University societies which are organized as literary societies shall be exempt from taxation. To come under the provisions of the act the fraternities and sororieties class themselves as literary societies.
VINEGAR MUST BE PURE.
Prof. Jackson to Washington to Uphold Pure Food Law.
Prof. H. Louis Jackson of the department of chemistry will go to Washington, D.C., tomorrow to represent the state board of health at the hearing of the vinegar case. The manufacturers are desirious of having more freedom in the making of vinegar than the pure food law allows and Professor Jackson is to show that the present law is not too strict. He was at Topeka yesterday to see some food experts preparatory to going to Washington. He was also going on to Manhattan to see Professor Willard of the agricultural school's department of chemistry, but was unable to do so.
Dean Charles S. Skilton of the School of Music is as yet very sick. He has a trained nurse and the doctor is making two trips a day. He will be confined to his bed for most of next week. Then it will be a week before he can again meet his classes.
Dean Skilton Is Still Ill.
Prof. H. C. Allen of the department of chemistry, took the place of H. P. Cady last week in delivering lectures at Hartford and Bison, on the subject of liquid air.
Ralph Frush, a sophomore engineer, was called to his home in Kansas City Sunday on account of the death of his mother.
HURT WHILE COASTING.
Frank Chesky Thrown From Sled on Indiana Street.
Frank H. Chesky of Nickerson, a member of the freshman football team last fall was bruised about the hips as the result of a tobogganing accident on Indiana street yesterday evening. With a number of boys who also room at 1225 Oread, Chesky went to the hill after the basket-ball game to try the Indiana street coasting. On one of the trips down Chesky was occupying the rear of the long sled when it swerved and threw him into the curbing. His injuries are not considered serious.
START A NEW SOCIETY
Thirteen Sophomores Organize "Order of the Black Helmet" for Second-Year Men.
Thirteen members of the class of 1913 met Thursday and organized a sophomore society to be known as the "Order of the Black Helmet." The objects of the society as stated by the originators are primarily the promotion of the interests of the class and the University. Members will be chosen for their prominence in school activities, such as class honors and athletics. The members who will compose the organization next year will be chosen by the present members from the class of 1914.
The charter members of the new society are: Carl Krehbiel, Stanley Minor, Joe Connell, Chas Dolds, Clyde Dodge, Sandy Hamilton, Malcolm McNaughton Frank Reid, Paul Surber, Jas. Schwab, Tod Woodbury, Don Wheelock and O. H. Warner.
ELECTRICALS SWIM BEST.
Engineers Entertained Crowd With Contests in the Pool.
The electricals won the first inter-school engineering swimming meet Thursday evening in Robinson gymnasium by a wide margin. As was expected, the fancy diving and team rescuing events were the features of the contest. The contestants did good work and in some of the events showed extraordinary skill.
Over two hundred persons surrounded the pool, each encouraging his favorite. Dr. Naismith was starter and Professor Briggs was timer. The results of the different events are as follows::
50-foot dash, Daniels first, Kaffer second, Grignard third. Time 7.1; 50-foot swim on back—Griffin first, Parker second, Kaffer third. Time 13.1; 50-foot team rescue—Chemicals first, Electricals second, Mechanicals third. Time 30.4.5.; 50-foot, feet tied—Gossard first, Grignard second. Time 12.4.5. 100-foot swim—Griffin first, Parker second, Gossard third. Time 28. 100-foot dash—Daniels first, Kaffer second, Grignard third. Time 20.1. 400 foot relay—Electricals first, Chemicals second, Mechanicals third. Time 35; plunge for distance—Daniels first, Parker second, 43 feet. Fancy diving, E. W. Davis first, Griffin second.
Mr. S. M. Nees of Independence was visiting his son, Paul a senior in the College, today.
A.T.O. PARTY WAS FIREMAN'S BALL
KITCHEN FLOOR BURNED WHILE MUSIC THROBBED.
The Firemen, Uninvited Guests,
Quenched the Flames and the
Dance Went On.
While the merry couples were gliding about the floor of Fraternal Aid hall at the Alpha Tau annual party shortly after midnight this morning,fire was eating away the floor under a gas range in the kitchen below. By the time the guests learned of the blaze, the fire department had been summoned from across the street, had quenched the flames, and the danger had passed.
The fire was caused by a defective stove which was being used in the preparation of the refreshments. The cook noticed that the stove was not heating as it should and called the janitor. He told her the stove had not acted right on former occasions and that there was nothing wrong, but changed his mind when flames began to curl around the base of the range.
After unsuccessfully trying to put out the fire the janitor called the department which made short work of the blaze with extinguishers. The blaze had gained considerable headway between the boards and the floor and a lot of flooring had to be chopped up to make sure that it was extinguished.
Dense smoke from the kitchen began to fill the hall shortly afterward and some of the guests became alarmed. A few left the hall, but the others remained when they learned that the fire was over, and danced out the program.
Except for a momentary alarm among some of the guests and a slight delay in serving refreshments, the fire did not affect the party.
NO NEW FEVER VICTIMS.
But Two Professors Cannot Meet Their Classes.
The professors' children who are quarantined for scarlet fever are getting along nicely. There are four children of Prof. C. M. Sterling of the School of Pharmacy and two of Prof. H. P. Cady of the department of chemistry, who are siek. Owing to the quarantine the two professors will not meet their classes next week. Miss Laura Bates, a sophomore in the College, who has been in the hospital the past week with the fever is now convalescent. The children of Prof. Ralph W. Conew were reported to have scarlet fever, but their sickness did not prove to be such.
D. C. Porter, '05, visited the University today. Mr. Porter is now superintendent of the Caldwell city schools. He stopped here on his way to Topeka where he will be present when a school bill in which he is interested comes up.
J. F. Mackey, an industrial fellow, has been sick this week and was unable to attend to his work on the hill.

A CHANCE TO SERVE.
The report which comes from Topeka that the new hospital of the School of Medicine may have to run the gauntlet of political expediency will cause anxiety on the part of every one who is interested in the advancement of science and increased service to the people of the state on the part of the state institutions. The report has it that there will be difficulty in securing a hospital just because the Regents of the University chose Kansas City, Kan., as the location. Pressure in being brought to bear on the legislators by the representatives of other towns that wanted the hospital and didn't get it.
That a state hospital is needed is common knowledge. That there is a place in the state of Kansas for a School of Medicine,equipped as well as the state can afford, has been demonstrated with equal certainty. The Legislature has a chance to do a real service to the state by building the proposed hospital and it will be a blot upon the record of the present session if politics is allowed to prevent such action.
It seems to The Kansan that the University was entirely too optimistic in its opinion that everybody could travel the icy sidewalks safely, yesterday and today. The conditions called for a liberal supply of sand or ashes on the sidewalks, but these were to be found only at the approaches to the buildings. As a result, everyone of the twenty-two hundred students who ascended the steep and slippery approaches to the University yesterday did so at the imminent risk of bodily injury.
The critics of the University who contend that the tendency among the students is constantly toward the spending of more money will find an additional argument in the action of the senior class, which has decided that the ordinary engraved covers which have appeared on the invitations for years are no longer good enough and must give way to the more expensive leather ones.
It had been several weeks since a new society had been organized at the University, but Thursday some members of the sophomore class took steps to fill the long-felt want.
With the walks and approaches of the University in their present iey condition, it is easy to believe the story of the Fall of Man.
A score of 40 to 17 is not so bad, considering that it was made in the first game of the season, and on Friday the thirteenth.
HOW MANY WILL TAKE THE ADVICE.
The community's doctor—the head of the health department—recently has given free of charge to all men and women weighing 140 pounds or over a recipe for the avoidance of pneumonia. It is that they shall reduce their food and beverages at least one-half during the next four months. He promises a saving of at least 500 lives if this advice be generally taken.
But he must have a hopeless feeling that only a few will act on the advice. Observe the perversity of human nature and the seemingly low estimate which men and women put on their lives. If good sized money prizes were offered the 140 pounders of Chicago as the reward of dieting for a third of a year, they would curb their appetites. The heavy eaters and drinkers would become models of abstinence, for there "would be money in it." The man who would fast to get a thousand dollars would not do it to insure himself against pneumonia.
Most people still have great faith in the magical power of drugs to cure and ward off disease. If the health department were to assure the heavy eaters and drinkers that a daily draft of some nauseous mixture for four months would carry them safely through the pneumonia season they would gulp down the stuff. If there were any widely advertised pneumonia preventive for sale in the drug stores at a dollar a bottle there would be many purchasers who, if all went well with them, would be willing to certify that it had saved their lives.
And yet these same people will not be moderate in food and drink for a time, so as to make it less likely that they will be attacked by a painful and dangerous disease. They will continue to neglect bad colds after having been told a hundred times how risky it is. They had rather imperil their lives than modify their habits for a few weeks. From their willingness to take chances one can form some estimate of the low valuation they put on health and life. Dr. Evans is addressing a heedless, happy-go-lucky set of patients.—Chicago Tribune.

1910 TREASURER GAVE SUM TO LOAN FUND.
No Statement Came With Bequest but Committee Surmises It Is the Class Profits.
The committee in charge of the Students' Loan Fund, has just come into possession of a balance from the treasurer of the class of 1910. No statement came with the bequest, but the sum, amounting to $13.25, is supposed to represent the profits of the several enterprises of the last senior class.

The custom of turning into the Student's Loan Fund the profits of the junior prom was established about ten years ago, but has not been observed by recent classes. Senior classes have not followed the custom of presenting profits to the loan fund.
The $13.25 which the 1910 treasurer has turned over to the fund probably will be the last the committee on the loan fund will receive from any senior class. By a ruling of the Student Council, made last fall, the profits of the various senior enterprises will be turned over to the Student Council to form the nucleus for a Student Union building.

NEW BOOKS ARRIVE.
Latest Consignment to Library Include Many Foreign Volumes.
Many new books are being received daily at Spooner library, due mainly to the fact that the bulk of the books which have been ordered during the last half of the year, come in about the first of January.
Adah Patrick, of Kansas City, Mo., who was a sophomore in the College last year and was unable to attend the University this year on account of ill health, is spending the week end with friends here.
Among the new books are forty-seven bound volumes of "The Iron Age" for the mechanical engineering department, a complete set of Thomas Hardy's works, about two hundred French books which deal chiefly with history, mathematics and languages, and about two hundred and fifty other books, foreign and American on miscellaneous subjects. The home economics library will be added to in the near future. It now includes not only the books on the reserve shelf, but also many on chemistry, art, architecture and history which are found in their respective departments
There are many interesting facts connected with the ordering and receiving of the books in a large library.
Often books on certain subjects which have been ordered are out of print. The dealer, in such an event, must delay filling the order until he can find them second hand. Many of these are shelfworn, ink-stained and bear marks of a long and interesting career. Their dates of publication vary greatly, some being printed as long ago as 1813 and are bound in calf.
The foreign books are generally bound in gay colored leather. One odd fact about the foreign books is that they are printed, listed and sold unbound. If the purchaser wishes them bound he must say so in his order and pay extra. In some of these foreign books are included interesting book-plates showing the armorial bearing of some of the noble families. Foreign periodicals, especially German scientific journals have the habit of publishing one month's number before the previous month's issue. Thus, a January copy will come before the December issue arrives.
Wellesley, Mass.-The recent discovery that many Wellesley college students are deficient in grammar school requirements, particularly as to spelling, has led to the adoption of radical measures by the faculty. With the reopening of the college numerous spelling classes have been formed. One hour a day will be devoted to spelling during the academic year. More than 600 students, nearly 50 per cent of the total registration, are included in the newest of Wellesley's classes.

THIRTEEN WAYS TO COOK AN EGG
The faculty ladies will receive the girls and wives of the students at a tea in the classical museum next Thursday afternoon from 3 to 5.
AND THE HOME ECONOMICS CLASS TRIED THEM ALL.
The Process Is Not so Simple as It Looks, and Most Anything Makes a Difference.
Cooking an egg is a simple matter and one of relatively little importance-except to the man who finds that the ones set before him are done just the way he doesn't like them. Then it's another matter. Miss Edna D. Day's class in home economics has been spending a lot of time on the cooking of eggs this week, to the end that the ultimate consumer may have no cause for complaint and the peace and welfare of the cook may thereby be enhanced.
The faculty of the English department are now giving a series of reading classes for the freshmen. This week Miss Gilbreath gave "Lamb's Essays" Friday afternoon.
Really it's surprising how many things make a difference when there is an egg to be cooked. The result will vary according to the method employed, the amount of water used, the size of the egg,the size of the vessel and the material of which it is made, the temperature of the egg at the beginning of the process and any number of other things—unless the cook has taken a course in home economies and konws how to take all the conditions into account. To obtain this knowledge was the object of the laboratory work this week, and several dozen perfectly good eggs were sacrificed to gain it, which also goes to account for the high cost of education per capita at the University.
Thirteen different ways of boiling an egg were employed by the class and the causes of the success or failure of each method were studied. "The scientific way to cook an egg," said Miss Day, "is to use a thermometer and to have the water at 70 degrees, the temperature at which an egg coagulates; and to leave the egg in the water just long enough to heat it through. Even by this process the cook must take into account the size of the egg and the temperature of the place in which it has been kept."
As one of the tests of the class in quiz week, each member will be required to boil an egg to a certain degree of coagulation. Each egg will have to be broken before the instructor, and the condition in which it comes out of the shell will determine the grade on that particular "question." After the thorough study of every phase of the process this week, of course each girl expects to boil an egg that would be the envy of a chef.

TRACK WORK
LACKS INTEREST
Coach Hamilton Is Disappointed at Slight Competition in the Preliminaries.
FEW MEN CONTESTED IN INTER-SCHOOL MEET.
There is a lack of interest in the indoor track meets. Only fifteen of the sixty-five trying out for the team appeared during the three days the interschool meet was held. Two events were pulled off Monday and the results were: Mile—Osborne, medic, first; Riley, College, second; Shidler, engineer, third. Time, 5:10.
Quarter mile—First heat, Fairchild, College, first; Hess, engineer, second. Second heat, Black, College and McMillan, College, tied for first. Third heat—Davis, College, first; Daniels, law, second.
Wednesday one event was run, namely the half mile, which Fairchild won in 2:15, and Kraus and McMillan tied for second. The meet was discontinued, as not enough men came out and because the College was so far ahead that it was useless to continue the meet.
In commenting on the lack of interest, Coach Hamilton said. "I am disappointed with the result of the meet. I wish the men would enter the meets, as competition is the main thing. The men want to learn to run in a regular race as no idea can be gained of a man's ability in running by himself."
There will be a freshman-varsity meet the week before the Baker meet, which occurs the first part of February, and possibly an inter-class meet after it. Besides these meets there probably will be indoor meets with the Lawrence Y. M. C. A., and between the Lawrence high school and the freshmen.
TAKE CARE OF THE BODY.
College Men Thus Fitted to Build Up Society.
Dr. Scott P. Child of Kansas City spoke at the Y. M. C. A. Thursday night on the relation of the college men to the community. Even though he has been out of college eleven years, he is still a college man, and gave the views of one. He declared that body should be kept in good condition of one expected to do good work.
"Every man should have a dignified purpose in view," aid Dr. Child, "The college man should use his influence for the benefit of mankind and for the uplifting of society."

TOLD OF OLYMPIC GAMES.
High Jumper Gave Illustrated Lecture and Jumping Exhibition.
"Every man has a yellow streak somewhere in his makeup and only by thorough participation in competitive athletics can that trouble be removed," said Harry F. Porter, world champion high jumper, in speaking before an audience of 300 students in Snow hall Thursday evening. Competitive athletics, as he explained, create a spirit of democracy and instill a desire for cleaner sportsmanship in the men.
"Athletics have a distinct part to play in college life. First, in the physical development of the participants, second, outward manifestation of college spirit which in itself is one of the most vital things in college life, and thirdly, acts as a publicity bureau for the institution," said Mr. Porter.
In connection with the slides representing different views of the Olympic games, he explained many of the unpleasant situations that arose over the awarding of places, and showing the Britishers' attitude toward athletics. The English contestant does not train for games and criticises those who enter the contests for anything but the mere pleasure of showing their endurance. Following his address Mr. Porter gave some exhibition jumps in the gymnasium. He has a style that is all his own, which took him seven years to acquire.

If the recommendations of Governor Stubbs are carried out by the state legislature now in session, a branch of the department of mines and mining of the University of Kansas will be established in the Pittsburg coal district. The school will be located at Pittsburg. The teaching force will be chosen by the Regents and will have a resident director who will be under the direct control of a member of the faculty at Lawrence. It is rumored that it is Governor Stubbs' intention to ask that Professor Haworth be placed in charge of the school on account of his close connection with the coal district in his work on the state geological survey.
Cor. N. H. and Winthrop Sts,
In his message to the state legislature Governor Stubbs said: "I recommend that a branch school of the Kansas University department of mines and mining be established in the Pittsburg coal field district. The United States government now has a traveling car which gives instruction on mine work. But this car covers a wild field, including Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas, and is absent from the coal fields in Kansas a large part of the time. It is the duty of Kansas to use every means in its power to protect the rights, lives and welfare of the men who undertake the hazardous work of mining."
Chancellor Strong said today that if the school is established the work will be directed from the University in order that there will not be any duplication of the work here. The plan has not yet been worked out, however, and little is known here of the proposed branch beyond what is contained in the governor's message

PLAY BALL WITH JAP CHAMPIONS
K. U. SCHEDULES GAMES WITH UNIVERSITY OF KEIO.
In May the Varsity Will Meet the Inter-Collegiate Champions of Japan.
University students may have the opportunity to see the champion Japanese baseball team in action against the Jayhawkers this spring. Word was received by Manager Lansdin from the University of Wisconsin that the University of Keio, Japan, will play a series of games with the Badgers, and in order to defray expenses, other college teams will be played. On account of the good showing of Kansas in recent years, an opportunity was given the Jayhawkers to play the Jap and Manager Lansdon accepted the offer, providing no conflict of dates results. The game will probably be played the latter part of May.
The Keio team has been the inter-collegiate champion of Japan for the last five years, having defeated teams from the Universities of Wisconsin and Chicago when they went over to Japan recently. This trip to the United States is a return engagement.

VOLUME VII.
DUNCAN BRINGS 3 NEW FELLOWSHIPS
NUMBER 42
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1911
HENRY KOHMAN HOLDER OF BEST PAID ONE.
Professor Duncan Expects to Announce New Fellowships for K. U. in a Short Time.
Henry Kohman of Dillon, a graduate student, has accepted an industrial fellowship of $2,500 a year for two years at Pittsburg University and will leave about April 1 to take up his work. The offer was brought by Prof. Robert Kennedy Dunean, head of the departments of industrial chemistry at the University of Kansas and Pittsburg. The fellowship is the highest paid one in the world. It is a multiple fellowship and Mr. Kohman will have two men associated with him in the work. One of the men will receive $1,500 and the other $750.
Professor Duncan said yesterday that the second position in the fellowship would be filled by a graduate of the University of Kansas who is now doing research work at Yale.
The work of the fellowship will be a continuation of the research in breadmaking, which Kohman has been working on for several years. As an additional incentive, a bonus of $10,000 is offered the three men if they discover processes that will be of commercial value to the firm.
Professor Duncan said yesterday that he expected to have a number of fellowships at the University of Kansas to announce within a short time. The quarters which his department has in the University of Pittsburg will be more than filled with fellows, he declared, and he expects to fill every room in the industrial department in the basement of the chemistry building on Mount Oread.
Final examinations in all courses in mathematics both in the College and School of Engineering will be given in the morning and in the afternoon of Saturday, January 28. Any students who find it will be impossible to take the examination on that day should consult their respective instructors at once.

On January 28, the club will give a concert at St. Marys, Kan., and on February 6 they will appear at Haskell as a part of the Haskell lecture course.
If a satisfactory time to all members can be found, the club will make a trip to California at the close of school. Nothing definite has been done because of the indecision of some club members as to the time they can leave school without endangering their class standing.
Will Speak to Chemicals.
E. Ward Tillitson, the Holo phane fellow in chemistry, will speak before the Chemical club Wednesday evening.at 5 o'clock it room 101 of the chemistry buildin His subject will be "The Relation Between the Physical Propertie and the Chemical Composition o Glass."

OPERA BURLESQUES BY K.U. GLEE CLUB
WINTER CONCERTS TOMORROW AND THURSDAY.
Program Will Begin Seriously and Wind Up With Comic Opera Take-Off.
The University Glee club's annual winter concert will be given in Fraser hall tomorrow and Thursday nights, January 18 and 19. The club contains twelve members besides Prof. C. E. Hubach, director, and Melvin Kates, pianist.
The program is divided into two parts, the first consisting of club numbers and solos by several members of the club. The first part is as follows:
We Meet Again Tonight—Club.
The Triumphant Calls, Away
(Dow)—Club.
Oh, Fair, Oh Sweet, and Holy (Canton)—Mr. Marshall.
Village Choir (Lynes)—Club.
College Medley (Norworth)—
Club.
The Dwarf Song (Garnett)—Mr. Powers.
Nun of Nidaros (Buek)—Prof.
Hubach, Mr. Powers and Club.
The second half of the program consists of something entirely new to a University glee club. It is a burlesque on grand opera. Frank Tyler of the Chicago Record has written the libretto and the musical arrangement has been done by Frank Smith. "The Barber of Seville" and "Faust" have been burlesqued and the program will consist of solos and chorus work from these operas.
The cast of characters is:
Mr. Tyler...Mr. Marshall
Mrs. Tyler...Mr. Musselman
The Janitor...Mrs. Dodge
An interesting thing in this connection is that the chorus will be made up from both boys and girls from the club and the management hints that the girls' chorus composed of the basso profundos of the club will be found amusing.
First tenor—Miller, Buxton, Musselman; second tenor—Beamer, Flint, Dodge; first bass—Fillman, Lauderback, Marshall; second bass—Potter, Rhodes, Powers. Miss Maude Cook will play an organ accompaniment to the closing number of part one "Nun of Nidaros."
The personnel of the club this year is as follows:
TALKED ON WEIGHTS.
Professor Stimpson Discussed Standards in Chapel.
"There is no uniform weight system in packages. The manufactures have their own standard and change it as often as they want to," remarked Professor Stimpson.
Prof. E. H. Stimpson, assistant professor of physics, spoke in chapel this morning on weights and measures. In foreign countries there is official attention given to weights and measures, but there is not in the United States. Power was given by the constitution to regulate them but no legislation was made directly, consequently there is a great deal of discrepancy among the states. In 1836 congress recommended a uniform standard of weights and measures and most of the states adopted them. The Troy pound and the meter are, however, the only standard ones officially adopted by Congress.
At present the National Bureau of Standards is conducting an investigation throughout the country and calling attention to the importance of uniform weights and measures and gathering information and data for the formation of laws. Two import ant bills will result from this investigation namely, prohibiting the sale of packages without the weight given on the outside and a regulation of the kinds of scales sold.
C. E. Society to Meet.
There will be a meeting of the Civil Engineering society in the lecture room of Blake hall, Thursday, January 19, at 7:30. Mr.W. H. Kniskern, secretary of the Freeborn Engineering and Construction company, of Kansas City, will give an illustrated lecture on the "Design and Operation of Cement Plants."

BILL INTRODUCED AT TOPEKA TODAY.
Representative Keene Would Manage Three State Schools From Central Office at Topeka.
The control of the three leading state educational institutions from a central office at Topeka is the object of a bill which Representative Keene of Bourbon introduced in the lower house of the Kansas legislature today.
The bill provides for a state board of administration which shall have administrative control of the University, the State Agricultural school at Manhattan,and the State Normal school at Emporia. The board will consist of three men who shall be appointed by the governor and approved by the senate. Each member of the board will have a salary of $2,500 and a secretary provided for the central office will draw the same amount.
Representative Keene's bill has been commented on very favorably in the discussion at Topeka today.
Quill Elects Members.
Under the central administrative board, each institution will have a local head in immediate charge. It appears that the functions of the administrative board would be similar to those which the regents of the institutions have at present.
At the regular meeting of the Quill club Monday afternoon the following students were elected to membership in the organization: Adella Pepper, Mary Andrews, Naney Fisher, Elizabeth Heavey, Regina Woodruff, Beulah Murphy, Gale Gossett, Dena Ellis, Isabel Thomes, Harry Wilkins, Carl L. Cannon, Will French, and Harry M. Trowbridge.
Prof. Titchener to Speak.
E. B. Titchenor, professor of psychology in Cornell University, will speak in the chapel February 16th and 17th, at 4:30. Professor Titchenor is the author of several text books on psychology and is one of the greatest experimental psychologists in the United States.

TAXES.
That University fraternity property is exempt from taxation by a Kansas law doubtless became known for the first time to many people last week when two fraternities asked the county commissioners to refund taxes which had been paid. Doubtless the intent of this law is entirely proper, but The Kansan believes it is fair to inquire into the principle underlying it. Does it not create a privileged class within the student body? Fraternities are essentially private institutions. Why should their property be exempt from taxation any more than that of any other private institution? It is true that the law enables some hundreds of students to get through school more cheaply than they could if they had to pay taxes on their property. But who pays the taxes which the fraternities would pay if the law did not exist? The amount is distributed among the other pieces of property in town. The tax is paid directly by the owners and indirectly by those who buy merchandise of them or employ their professional services or rent rooms in their houses. The student body of the University helps to pay. Even the fraternity members themselves help to pay taxes on their own property in this indirect way, but they do this indirect way, but they dents pay. Their load is divided up and every student has to help "tote" it in addition to his own. One gentleman in discussing the law said it could not be attacked without attacking the whole law of exemptions. But The Kansan believes that most of the clauses in the exemption laws deal with stitutions more public in character than fraternities claim to be. Stated in terms of dollars and cents the fraternity law makes very little difference to any individual except its beneficiaries, but is there not a question as to whether or not its beneficiaries have a valid claim to exemption?

NO COACH FOR BASEBALL
Captain Will Have More Power Plan Suits Lansdon.
There will be no baseball coach this year declared Manager Lansdon this morning. The manager and the captain will have full charge of the team, directing the preliminary work and selecting the men. This means that the captain will have greater responsibilities than heretofore and, according to Manager Lansdon, is more like the ideal captain.
"All kinds of coaches have been tried with varied success," said Manager Lansdon. "In 1907 the University did not have a baseball coach and the team got along well, losing only two games. There is no reason why the team this year should not do as well. The men have not the time to devote to the finer points of the game and consequently can do without a coach."
The prospects for the team this year are good. Nearly all the freshmen are cligible and are back, besides a nucleus of old men, including Captain Haller, Heizer, Wilhelm, Farrell, Palmer and Jim Smith.
HONOR TO PROF. HUNTER.

This is the first time in the history of the association that a professor has received this honor.
The association also passed resolutions commending W. S. Griesa, of Lawrence, "for his wisdom and thoughtfulness displayed by him in establishing with the University of Kansas, 'The W. S. Griesa Research Fellowship' in entomology."

It is one of the finest universities in the West, a credit to Kansas as the keystone of the state's educational structure." Every word of which is true. The University never will be what it should be until it is endowed permanently, and the Regents and the Chancellor know what they may depend upon in the way of money for expenses. Ever since the foundation of the institution, those who have its welfare at heart have been compelled to beg and implore the Legislature for every dollar it got. It should not be so. The institution should have a lasting and liberal foundation, for only when it has can it become what it should be—Lawrence Gazette.
The regents of the University of Colorado have asked for $400,-000 from the legislature for new buildings, and furthermore request that the money be given to them to appropriate as they see fit rather than have the legislature appropriate it in fixed sums for certain buildings.
The Williams Aeronautical Society has challenged the Amherst Aero club to a balloon race to take place next spring. If the match is arranged it will be the first inter-collegiate contest of the kind in this country.—Ex.
GRANTS HOLIDAY FOR ENGINEERS
Festivities to Include a Parade, a Dinner and Athletic Contests on McCook Field.
ANNUAL CELEBRATION TO BE HELD DURING MARCH.
The Chancellor has granted a special holiday to the engineers. It is to be exclusively for the Engineering School, and will probably be made an annual affair. The date has not been set, but will come the latter part of March.
George Russell, president of the engineering school, has been planning this innovation for some time. The following is an outline of the program he has in mind. The engineers will attend Chapel in the morning, and at 12:15 they will have a parade which will start from Marvin hall. Each department of the engineering school will be represented in this by a float. The K. U. band will assist and there will be other features. Leaving the University, the procession will go down town and finally stop at McCook field. There the men will have a big feed and spend the afternoon in various athletic stunts, such as Battle Royal, Tug of War and baseball. The day will end with a dance given in Robinson gymnasium, in the eveening of the holiday.
The purpose of these plans is to bring the freshmen into closer affiliation with the school and the upperclassmen.
DATA ABOUT STUDENTS.
Prof. Clement Learns of Their Relative Standing.
Prof. J. A. Clement, who was University fellow in philosophy last year, was in the city Saturday in connection with an investigation which he is conducting for the University of Chicago. Mr. Clement's task consists of securing statistics to determine the relative standards of students in grade, high school and university. He seeks to determine whether a brilliant student in the lower schools retains the same relative standing in a higher institution of learning.
Mr. Clement's method is to consider the work of the student in one subject at a time. By comparing the records of different students he hopes to secure data of interest and value concerning the respective importance of native ability and certain instruction in their influence upon students. The investigation will count towards the doctor's degree which Mr. Clement expects to receive from the University of Chicago.

KANSAS TAKES THE FIRST FROM AMES
VICTORY CAME BY A SCORE OF 41 TO 21.
The Contest in Basket-Ball Last Night Was Fast and Rather Rough.
The Kansas basket-ball five came out victorious in the second contest of the season with Ames last night by a 41 to 21 score. The game was played on the Robinson gymnasium court and was witnessed by a fair sized crowd of spectators.
The contest was fast enough and more or less rough. Early in the second half a toss for the basket resulted in a broken goal and the teams were compelled to finish the game on one of the shorter courts.
The first half gave Kansas a fifteen point lead. In the second part of the contest K. U. lead with five points more.

PHILIPPINE EDUCATION.
Search Is Being Made for Teachers for the Islands.
Emporia Gazette.
George N. Briggs, superintendent of the Philippine Normal Schools at Manila, P. I., addressed the Normal students this morning at chapel. He has been at the Normal since yesterday, interviewing men who wish to teach in the Philippines. He spent the past month visiting various educational institutions of the United States for the purpose of selecting a number of qualified teachers to take to the Islands with him. Mr. Briggs was educated in the United States, and has been teaching in the Philippines since 1901. This morning he outlined briefly the history of the government's work in establishing an educational system in the Islands, since the American occupation. He gave also as a reason for the employment of men teachers alone the fact that a great deal of the supervision there necessitates much travel under unfavorable conditions. Here are some statistics he gives concerning the
One university, including a college of liberal arts, one each of medicine, agriculture, engineering, fine arts and veterinary science.
Philippine Islands, for the school year 1909-10:
One normal school, one trade school, one commercial school, one school for the deaf and dumb, thirty-eight high schools, 198 intermediate schools, 4,295 primary schools.
There are 3,083 high school students, 21,304 intermediate school students, 562,930 primary school students.
The school officials and teachers include one director of education, two assistant directors, forty superintendents, 429 supervisors, 732 American teachers, 8,275 Filipine teachers; $3,237,663.40 was expended for schools during the fiscal year 1909-10.
INFLUENCE DOES NOT DIE.
Rev. Elderkin Told of Its Eternal Significance.
"You may secoff at personal immortality, but you can not secoff at impersonal immortality," said Rev. Noble E. Elderkin, pastor of the Lawrence Congregational church in chapel Friday morning in a vigorous discussion of the indestructibility of influence. He referred to the works of such men as Gough and Livingstone and said that the soul's vibration knows nothing of time and space.
"Not only good but bad influence continues indefinitely. Vice in you means that vice in the world will continue just that much longer," insisted Mr. Elderkin as a concrete example of the continuity of good Mr. Elderkin graphically sketched incidents in the lives of Moody, Dr. Grenfell and Norman Duncan, America has been thrilled by the Labrador rescue work story and the influence has been felt in the laymen's missionary movement, he said.
MANY AILMENTS AMONG STUDENTS
"I would emphasize the eternal significance of every word, look, and thought of ours." said Mr. Elderkin. "Each man lives in the future as a savior or as a blaster."
Miss Lena R. Haas of Los Angeles signed her name merely L. R. Haas when she wrote to Columbia university aboutadmittance to the civil engineering course. Consequently she was told to come on and her sex was not discovered until she arrived. She was the one girl in a class of 150 men, but she proved that she could do the work with the rest of them.

NEARLY FORTY PERCENT ILL OF WINTER DISEASES.
LaGrippe and Scarlet Fever Prevalent—Dr. Naismith Plans to Avoid Coasting Accidents.
"Nearly 40 per cent of the students of the University are now in the grasp of the usual winter ailments, such as la gripe, influenza, scarlet fever and pneumonia. There is the usual amount of widespread contagion of disease," said Dr. H. L. Chambers, University physician, today.
"To lead a simple life, keep your throat clean, and breathe plenty of fresh air are all the best preventives from sickness," continued Dr. Chambers
"La gripe, scarlet fever, and influenza are making great inroads in the habitats of the students. Carelessness on the part of the individual and the too frequent change of clothing also adds its quota of sickness.
"Further do not put lead pencils in your mouth, as this is the greatest way of spreading disease. carry at least a half dozen pencils and if they become dirty, discard them."
To remedy the large number of accidents that have occurred this season, Dr. Naismith has a plan on foot to construct a coasting slope southwest of the gymnasium for the use of the students. The concave surface of the brick pavement offers great opening for dangerous accidents. The sport of tobogganing which is so popular in the northern states will thus be revived, giving the students a chance to enjoy one of the greatest sports that winter brings.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1911
GLEE CLUB SANG TO A LARGE AUDIENCE
OPERA TAKE-OFF WAS FEA-TURE OF CONCERT.
And the Girl Chorus Also Made Impression That Will Not Be Soon Forgotten.
A large and enthusiastic audience greeted the University Glee club last evening on its first appearance of the season. The club is without doubt the most successful that the school has had for many years. Each member of the club, as well as the director, Prof. C. E. Hubach, is entitled to much credit for the exceptional concert last night.
Among the best numbers of the first part of the program was the Bedouin Love Song, by Joseph Marshall. He responded with the encore "Sweet Girl of My Dreams."
In the "Dwarf Song," John Power, the manager of the club, sustained his reputation as a singer.
The second part of the program was a burlesque upon grand opera. The character of Mrs. Tyler was acted well by John Musselman. Joseph Marshall took the part of Mr. Tyler and Mr. Dodge, the janitor.
And the chorus of "girls!" Horrors! But some of them were pretty, aye, quite pretty,—some said, and others, well. Suffice it to say that Edmund Rhodes would give many chorus girls a hard chase for their positions if it ever came to a beauty contest.
NUMBER 43
The take-off upon grand opera was most enthusiastically received by the audience, being an appreciated departure from the ordinary concert. Miss Helen Morrow had charge of the stage directions for this act.
The club will repeat its program in the chapel this evening.
REVISE TROUSERS DOWN
Basket-Ball Men Must Wear Raiment Which Covers Patellas.
Truly the chorus girl with the abbreviated costume and Coach Hamilton's basket-ball tossers have a common bond of sympathy. If a bill introduced by a blushing legislator from Meade county passes, the garments worn by the pony ballet during its sojourn in Kansas must reach at least four inches below the patella.
Dr. James Naismith has decided that the idea is a good one and has issued an edict that all goal shooters representing the University must take precautions before entering a game to see that their patellas are properly excluded from the curious gaze of student onlookers. Accordingly, the length of basket ball trousers has been revised downward. Considering the fact that there are members on the team this year who have been wont to romp over the floor in Salome attire, this order will cause a hasty examination of the wardrobes of several of the athletes.
Helen Robinson, a freshman in College, who has been ill for the past week, returned to school yesterday.
ACCIDENT AT CONCERT
Miss Helen Morrow Stepped Stage and Was Injured.
Miss Helen Morrow, a senior in the College, who had charge of the staging of the second part of the program, in last night's Glee club concert, received a painful injury during the concert. When the lights were turned out for the club members to make their entrance. Miss Morrow, who was moving about the platform, stepped off the edge, falling upon some upturned chairs. She was assisted to the platform and remained there until the concert was finished, when she was taken to her home in a carriage.
Today Miss Morrow is at her home, 1232 Louisiana street,where she is resting easily. It is expected that she will be in her classes again Monday morning.

8-GAME SCHEDULE FOR 1911 SEASON
MGR. LANSDON ARRANGES FOOTBALL CONTESTS.
Hard Missouri and Nebraska
Struggles Come Only a Week
Apart--Aggies Get a Game.
Manager W. C. Lansdon has closed the football schedule for the season of 1911. It will be about the same as last year with the exception of the difference in the places of playing. The State Agricultural College has been of fered a game, to be played in Lawrence, provided they will conform to the Missouri Valley Conference rules.
The hardest game of the season—that with Nebraska—has been scheduled for November 18—one week before the big Missouri game. It is feared that this arrangement will work a hardship on Kansas, as the Iowa game did two years ago. Eight games are planned, five of which will be played in Lawrence.
The tentative schedule for 1911 follows:
October 7, St. Marys, at Law rence.
October 28, Drake at Lawrence.
November 4, Washburn at Tobeka.
October 14, Baker at Lawrence.
October 21, K. S. A. C., at Lawrence.
November 11, Oklahoma at Lawrence.
November 18, Nebraska at Lin coln.
November 25, Missouri (probably at Columbia.)

The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority will give their annual spring party next Friday evening in Fraternal Aid hall.
SPOKE TO CHEMICALS
L. V. Redman Told of the Manu facture of Varnishes.
L. V. Redman, the Julius Karpen fellow in chemistry, spoke before the Chemical club Wednesday afternoon in the chemistry building. His work is to study varnishes and upon that subject he spoke. Varnish is made principally of resin and oil and there are two common methods of preparing it. According to the speaker, where the varnish is exposed to the weather it should be richer in resin than in oil. But when it is used for carriage purposes or where there is considerable jarring there should be more oil then resin.
E. Ward Tillotson, a fellow in chemistry, will speak later.
SEVEN BECOME LAWYERS
Students and Former Students Pass State Examination.
Of the twenty successful candidates at the examination for admission to practice before the state bar of Kansas seven have attended the University Law School One of these, Hiram C. Davis, of Wichita, who was graduated last year, is now a member of the house of representatives.
The others are: Jasper Byrd Wilson, a special law; I. N. Williams,'10; John Sherman Amick,'09; Earle H. Wilson, senior law; Nathaniel E. Berry, a senior law; and Thomas M. Van Cleve and Bernard Sheridan, who attended the University two years ago and were graduated from Yale last spring.
Three Talks at Symposium Friday Afternoon.
WILL SPEAK TO GREEKS.
There will be three speakers at the Greek Symposium Friday at 3:30 in room 206, of Fraser hall. Prof. A. M. Wilcox will tell of "Ancient Athens." His talk will be illustrated with stereopticon views which he obtained during his year's visit to Greece several years ago. Edmund Cressman, a graduate student, will review Dr. Osler's opinion of the Greeks. John P. Shea, a graduate student, will speak on "The Tribute of a Great Lawyer, Geo. R. Peck, of Kansas."
TO INSPECT PENITENTIARY
Professor Blackmar on Committee Appointed by Governor.
Prof. F. W. Blackmar of the department of sociology, went to Topeka yesterday. There, as a member of the committee appointed by Gov. Stubbs to inspect the state penitentiary, he will make his report. The other members of the committee are: Regent William A. White, Dr. S. J. Crumbate of the state board of health, John Gilday, state mine inspector, President H. J.

The Tripp club will give a dance at Ecke's hall Saturday evening, January 21.
The Men's Student Council will meet this evening at 7 o'clock, in room 110, Fraser hall.
COLORED STUDENTS TO FORM A "FRAT"
ALPHA PHI ALPHA IS THE NAME GIVEN IT.
Will Be Fourteen Charter Members From the Colored Student Body in New Fraternity.
In a personal letter to one of the colored men at the University, Richard Hill, secretary to the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, says it is not only possible but highly probable that a branch of the fraternity will be established here before the close of the scholastic year.
Alpha Phi Alpha is a national organization among colored college men that has for its object the closer affiliation of its members and the uplifting of the moral, intellectual and social standards of the race. It was organized five years ago at Cornell and so rapidly has it grown that it has members and representatives at many Eastern collges, the ones at Ann Arbor and Yale having chapter houses.
Mr. Hill, national secretary, is a law student at the former place. As a delegate from the east will have to come and set up the chapter here, Mr. Hill will very likely be the one sent.
The colored men at the University here have had this project in mind for some time and at last fortune seems to be smiling upon their plans. There will be fourteen charter members.
DESIRE A REPRESENTATION
Colored Girls to Elect Student Government Representative.
It has been suggested by several members of the faculty that the colored girls of the University organize and elect a representative to the Student Government Council. The colored girls intend doing so after quiz week.
Quill to Elect Officers.
The Quill club will hold its annual election of officers next Monday at its regular weekly meeting. Last week a primary election was held at which three nominees each for the several offices were selected. At the next meeting the following candidates will be voted upon:
President—Walter Mayer, Walter LeClere, Elliot Porter, Ruth Hunt. Vice president—John Ise, Louis Rufener, Millicent Noftzger. Secretary-treasurer—Christine Wenrich, Louis Rufener, and Louis LaCoss.
Another Debating Tryout.
At a meeting of the debating council yesterday afternoon, it was decided that another tryout be held to fill the vacancies recently caused by the resignation of two of the members, E. L. Overman and Miss Stuart.
The tryout will be held in Green hall one week from next Saturday night, Jan. 28, at 7 o'clock.
Ward Cook and Ray Lindsey, of the Entomological department, went to Kansas City today, where they will visit the large packing plants, in search of material for their department.

The descent of the hill on a bobsled does not take long and is an exhilarating experience; but it is not exhilarating to reflect that in the same time and probably at the same time one may be sliding from a grade I to a grade III—or lower.
The appropriation bill is now before the Legislature. There was some talk, before the session began, of disposing of the regular appropriations for state institutions early on the program, as a means of facilitating discussion on other legislation that would involve the expenditure of state funds; but it is likely that the educational appropriations will wait till the end of the session as usual. This probably will not affect the schools unfavorably. The more careful consideration the legislators devote to the educational situation, the more likely the schools are to get what they need to carry on their work.
A queer thing about the holiday of the School of Engineering is that the date has not yet been set. It would seem that the date would be the first thing to be decided.
The news that applications from many men of experience in the game have been received at the University for the position of football coach next year will be welcomed by the students who have become apprehensive over the situation. It appears that despite the general fear to the contrary there is an abundance of good material to choose from. While the coaches of most experience and renown throughout the country doubtless already have been chosen for positions next year, many good men are still seeking places; nor is it likely that there ever will be as many coaching positions as there are men competent to turn out creditable teams.

Representative Keene's bill may be called an attempt to apply the commission form of government to state schools. It would place the administration of higher education in Kansas in
the hands of a small board. The friction which arises from having three separate state schools probably would not be lessened if the plan were carried into effect. The contest would be made before the state administrative board instead of the Legislature as at present.
The University basket ball team has met the representatives of two other schools, one a conference team. In all the games the opponents showed considerable skill but were easily outclassed by the Jayhawkers. It is dangerous to venture any predictions on what the team can do later in the season, but at least it can be said that the outlook is encouraging for another championship season.

THIRTEEN WAYS TO COOK AN EGG.
A Little Story of Domestic Science.
--knew how I liked my eggs, soft-boiled, but didn't seem sure of precisely how soft or hard they should be. "No matter," said I, "just so they are not too hard." "About so hard as blanc mange?" she queried. I thought they should be about so hard.
So Inez and I were married.
So much for details. It seems a dream to me now—that short but ecstatic hymonecy, and the triumphal return home—to our home. It was to be our only—we had carefully planned that. No servants were to interfere with our Utopia; they were to be used only when absolutely necessary. For Inez enjoyed ordinary house work. She had graduated in Domestic Science—a Bachelor of Arts in Domestic Science was the degree that she held, I think; and to be accurate, I must say that she still holds it.
We rose at eight on the first morning of our housekeeping. I trust you will grant me the free use of the word rise. Old married people get up; but one would hardly be so impetuous as to speak thus of a bride and groom. Let me repeat, we rose at eight. I was due at the office at nine. Twenty minutes would be ample time to prepare my simple breakfast, Inez said. It is simple and never varies; two soft-boiled eggs, toast and coffee. She

should be about so hard.
I tried to give assistance, but my services were scorned, so I read the morning paper on the front porch and waited for the call. I became engrossed in the market reports and forgot all about breakfast for a time. When I did entirely involuntarily look at my watch, I received a shock; it was eight-fifty. I could not possibly reach the office before half past nine. I flew to the kitchen. Inez very plainly, almost obtrusively, wore a look of triumph. "It's almost done," she exclaimed. With the forbearance and courage of the average groom, I congratulated her warmly. "I've had the worst luck," she continued. "The first egg I broke while I was measuring it." "While you were measuring it!"—I all but showed surprise. "Yes," she replied; "one must measure every egg, for upon its size depends the length of time required to cook it." I glanced about on the table; there was the measuring tape; there was also a thermometer and a pair of tiny scales—for troy weight, I thought. "You see," Inez continued, "boiling an egg is not a simple matter, as most people think. There are thirteen ways to boil an egg." I made some rapid calculations; I knew several; hard, soft and medium; in sea water and fresh water; with fire and, without. They were all the methods I could recall. I tried to be polite and not look worried; it was difficult for time was flying. Inez might be a conjurer with an egg; she was not with a watch, I knew. But she sweetly continued: "First of all you must measure and weigh the egg, and then consult this table, which tells you how long to cook it and at what temperature to have it as desired." She produced a large table which would have been Greek to me if I had not studied Greek in prep. school; so it was Sanscrit. "The provoking thing is that I forgot how to work the table and had to spend a half hour figuring it out, but I remembered finally. You see," she said convincingly running her finger down and up and across columns of figures, "here is one of your eggs; it should be cooked four minutes at at seventy; here is the other one; it should be cooked four minutes and fifteen seconds at seventy. I should judge seventy to be enough, from the way you like your eggs." I was tempted to remark that two would be enought, if I could get them soft-boiled at once; I might even have said it, but a scream from Inez distracted me entirely. She had looked at a watch and had rushed to the eggs, after laying the watch on the table. I glanced at the watch; it was a stop watch; it registered three minutes and fifty-five seconds. I turned to Inez; she was almost in tears.
"It's just too awful," she answered to my look of inquiry, "I have forgotten which egg is to be cooked the longer! It's too awful! What shall I do?"
"Split the difference," I suggested, as I fished out the eggs. "The watch now registers four minutes and eight seconds; I'll take my chances." I proceeded to breakfast, sat down at the table, grabbed an egg and was about to decapitate it when Inec came in, accompanied by a deluge. It seems she had forgotten to make the coffee and toast, in her excitement over the eggs. I expressed my disgust by continuing the slaughter of the egg. Then I turned to Inez. "How hot did you heat this specimen?" I asked. "To seventy degrees," she replied. "Let me see your thermometer," I demanded. It was as I had expected. The thermometer should have been Centigrade; it was Fahrenheit. That egg was hardly comfortably warm—for an egg. I snatched my hat and departed. I had no desire to test the companion egg; it seemed useless.
I reached the office at nine forty-five. Confusion reigned. My employer met me with invective and wild eyes. That clerk Jillson had been on time; the safe, too, had opened on time. Jillson had departed before he had finished his day's work and by a peculiar coincidence, the contents of the safe were missing; not much, but enough. I was plainly not to be trusted; at least my employer thought so. I was fired—not discharged, for no leniency was shown. Simply fired.

K. U. WINS SECOND FROM AMES FIVE
CONTEST A 54 TO 18 WALKAWAY FOR JAYHAWKERS.
Brown, the Ames Center, Starred and Douseman was the Kansas Wonder at Guarding.
Shooting baskets with spectacular accuracy, and shifting over the glassy gym floor with lightning-like swiftness, the Jayhawkers played the Ames Aggie five off its feet Tuesday night. The final score was 54 to 18. The first half closed with a score of 25 to 6, but in the second round the Kansans eased their play and their lead over the visitors dropped from four to three to one.
Brown, the visiting center revealed his classy form at center, his work frequently provoking as much applause from the balcony as did that of the home team. Dousman did some great guarding.
For Kansas Johnson and Heizer were the particular stars,each securing twelve points in the scoring column.

REFLECTS LANTERN SLIDES
New Apparatus Has Been Placed in the Botany Laboratory.
An apparatus for reflecting lantern slides upon drawing paper has just been installed in the botany laboratory. It consists of an ordinary electric stereocicon with an attached glass which throws the magnified image downward on the table. The size of the image may be varied by raising or lowering the machine which is made adjustable on an upright rod. With the picture thus before him, the student is able to trace swiftly and accurately an intricate cross-section that otherwise would cause him hours of work with the common desk microscope.
Another machine recently installed in this department is an automatic microtone, an instrument for cutting thin sections of tissue to be used in the making of special slides.

Who Can Tell Him?
Editor of Kansan:
For many long and weary nights I have labored over a proposition which I have been unable to solve. And in a final fit of frenzy, I go to your illuminative columns for relief. The question which has caused me so much worry and anxiety is the burning one: "Who will be the football coach for next year? Our glorious football team of 1911 is floating around on the sea of faculty speculation without a rudder, without a pilot. Shall such a glorious ship as the team of next year be wrecked upon the rocks and shoals of procrastination and delay? The other schools have their coaches and they are planning the campaign for next year and where are we? I repeat it, where are we? My dear editor, do not take it that I am knocking, for I am not. Far be it from me to be guilty of such a heinous crime. But I do protest against being left in such a state of anxiety regarding such a serious question. If we are to play the game of football at all, let us play it for all it is worth.

TWO BASKET-BALL TEAMS THIS YEAR.
Varsity Meets Baker Tomorrow Night—Missouri Reported to Be Playing Clean Ball.
The basket-ball schedule has been settled, and the two games with K. C. A. C. will be played as arranged before. The first of these two games will be played here on February 4, and the return game will be played as the first game on the trip, at Kansas City on February 16. Another game was scheduled which will be played on the trip with Iowa College at Grinnell, Ia., on February 22.
The schedule for the College basket-ball team was announced this morning. The schedule is: February 3, Bethany College at Lawrence; February 16, Fairmount College at Lawrence; February 27, Friends University at Wichita; February 28, Fairmount College at Wichita; March 1, Chilocco Indians at Chiloco; March 2, Bethany at Lindsborg; March 3 and 4 St. Marys at St Marys.
The class teams will play a tournament in the gymnasium during the week that the varsity is away on their trip.
Coach W. O. Hamilton said this morning about the coming game with Baker, "I expect the game to be much closer on their court than the game played last week. They may possibly defeat us, although I am not looking for any such outcome. The Baker team had not struck their stride when they played here and I am confident that they will make a much
better showing at the next game. Our team is now rounding into the shape that I like to see and I don't think that we will have very much trouble in winning all the games we play on the home court. "Bob" Heizer is getting back into his old shape this week.
"The boys on the Ames team report that the Missouri team is playing a far different style of game this year and that they are shooting goals better than the Kansas men. It is said that the Missouri squad has abandoned their rough "hammer and tongs" style of play."

MISS RANSOM'S DUCK
COMES BACK TO LIFE;
NOW QUACKS DOG-LIKE
Anybody who strolls past the house at 1140 Ohio street, has seen it. Everybody has heard about its death. But few know that Miss Mabel Edith Ransom's duck has come back. The duck that the cruel residents in that neighborhood were supposed to have exterminated Thanksgiving day, now struts up and down this highway in the same supercilious manner. The neighbors say that they killed the duck, but it now can be seen at any of its former rendezvous. So there you are. What is the explanation? The neighbors refuse to go near the "thing," as they call it, and the duck now leads a life of uninterrupted tranquility. There are, however, several changes in said duck since he came back. His once sparkling eyes now have a sunken, dark-ringed appearance, and they now look sad and dreary. His former musical quack now reminds one of a bulldog in distress, and as he slips up and down the icy sidewalk with hanging head and drooping shoulders he looks like the latter end of a dissipated career.
Miss Ransom's duck was killed, he is now alive. Who can account for the unexplained mystery?

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1911
PLAN TO RESTRICT OUTSIDE ACTIVITY
STUDENT COUNCIL WORKING ON NEW SCHEME.
Honors Would Be Graded and Each Student Could Compete in Only a Few Each Year.
The point system for college activities was the gist of the plan presented by Mike Lynch at the meeting of the Men's Student Council Thursday evening.
The plan as outlined by him has been in use in some of the Eastern schools for some time, and is said to be a great success there. It was the opinion, however,of many members that the system would not be practicable at the University of Kansas, mainly on account of the difficulty of giving every activity its proper rating. The purpose of the point plan is to limit students to the amount of outside work that they may carry in connection with their regular school work. Each office and position is given a certain rating and each person will be allowed to take so many hours or points in any one term or year. Though it was the prevailing sentiment that it would be impracticable to institute such a system at the University, the plan will be studied and a committee consisting Mike Lynch, Burton Sears and Lee Bush was appointed to study the plan further in connection with the conditions at the University of Kansas. The plan will be presented to the Women's Student Council for their consideration.
The baseball problem at the University was also discussed by the Council, but it was deemed advisable to take no action regarding the question of professionalism and the enforcement of the rules of eligibility of the Missouri Conference at the present time. The baseball situation will be discussed among the students by the Council members and their real attitude as to the condition of that college sport learned in that manner.
The cheer leader presented an account of the receipts and expenditures for the football season of 1910. The amount received by him was $44.83 and expenditures were $50.73. He also reported that more than fifty K. U. umbrellas were on hand for the use of the students next year.
W. B. Chaplin, who took his degree of L. L. B., in 1910, is visiting friends at the University. He is on his return trip from Topeka where he took the state bar examination. Mr. Chaplin is practicing law in Caney county, Kan.
BEARDSLEY ON POLITICS.
Ex-Mayor of Kansas City Dis-
cusses True Citizenship.
"Every citizen should be interested in politics and should take an active part in the public affairs of his city and state, and nation." said H. M. Beardsley, ex-mayor of Kansas City, in an address delivered at Myers hall last Thursday night. "If he does not wish to run for an office himself he should at least work with other citizens in an effort to put up the best mer for responsible positions."
Ex-Mayor Beardsley took as his subject "Why a Politician" and spoke from his own personal experiences in Kansas City politics
Among the new political measures favored by Mr. Beardsley are: the short ballot, the commission form of government, and the initiative and referendum. In discussing the advantages of these measures Mayor Beardsley said: "The short ballot would greatly facilitate the voter in making a wise choice among a few candidates. A great many officers are chosen by the people in a blind way, and it would be better to make one or a few men at the most responsible for the whole system of government and then see to it that they were men of approved honor and ability.
"In some of our modern large cities," said Mr. Beardsley, "so much red tape is always attached to a petition asked for by the average citizen that many times before the request is granted, he has ceased to wish for it. Under the commission form of government three or five men can attend to such business at once, without the trouble of reporting and voting upon it in the two separate houses of the city council."
One of the greatest problems in a political way that confronts the people of this country in the opinion of Mr. Beardsley, is the fact that thousands of foreigners are coming to this country every year, and before they are educated in the problems of a republican form of government are given the right to vote. The people of the United States can not shirk the responsibility of caring for these people, but the only way to make them intelligent voters is to organize citizens' leagues to discuss with them political measures that come before the people for approval.
HARD-WON VICTORY FOR KANSAS FIVE
There are disagreeable things connected with an active, public spirited career, such as the incurring of the enmity of a certain class of men who are accustomed to using the power of government for their own ends, but the man who is in the thick of the fight, is the happiest man if he knows that he is benefitting his fellow men."
BAKER
DEFEATED BY A 27 TO 21 SCORE.
Kansas Forwards Excelled at Goal-Shooting—Many Fouls Called on Both Teams.
The second game of basket-ball, which was played with Baker last night at Baldwin, resulted in a victory for the Kansas team by a score of 27 to 21. It proved to be the closest game of the season and the nearest to a defeat for the local squad that the men have yet encountered. The playing was not so fast throughout the game, but it was marked by frequent fouls by members of both teams. The score at the end of the first half was 6 to 7 in favor of Hamilton's men, and the Kansas five was lucky indeed to get away with the game by the small lead that they did.
The game was marred by rough tactics and the individual scoring was low on account of the close guarding that was done by both teams. Heizer and Liston scored the most points for their respective teams, with four baskets each.
During the first half "Shorty" Long was put out of the game as a penalty for pushing under the goal, and was replaced by Watson. In the second half Alderdice was disqualified for the same offense. The team was of the Kansas men was very poor, largely due, in the opinion of Coach Hamilton, to the frequent holding of the Baker men.
The Baker five could not make a better showing for the same reason. The Kansas forwards did better work at goal-shooting than their opponents, but the Baker guards kept the locals covered so well that very few attempts could be made.
Owing to the fact that Tommy Johnson, the star forward on the team was taken sick a short time before the team left for Baldwin, George Stucky was put in the position of forward and played a good game through the first half of the game, when he was replaced by Dousman at the time that Long was disqualified from the game.
The line-up for the teams was as follows:

SUPPRESS PERSONALITIES.
Red Domino Players Keep Them Dark Till the Play Opens.
"Who took Umpty-Ump's girl to the Fiji spring party? Why, that was Dumpty-Dum."
Thus, or nearly thus, sings the chorus of "The Idle Idol" in the songs which have references of a decidedly pointed and local and personal nature, and there are more than a few of that kind of songs in the musical stampede which the Red Domino will stage at the Bowersock next week.
The reason, you know, is that the personal hits would cease to be hits once they were sung in the presence of the whole cast, for everybody would tell everybody else what the killing things were and it would soon be all over the hill.
Therefore the managers of the production have the chorus put in syllables enough of any old kind to get over the places where the names will appear in the forma' production. And nobody will know until the curtain goes up who is going to get "stung."
The final touches are being put on the dancing of the chorus this afternoon. The performers have all been trained in their parts and the managers and the trainer expect to present a faultless production next week.
German Play at Verein.
Helen Morrow Improving.
Four students of the University will give a German play at the meeting of the German Verein Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in room 313, Fraser hall. The title of the sketch is "Fin Khopf" and it is being presented by Misses Tess Critchfield, and Hazel Leslie, and Allen Wilber and Edwin Kohman.
The condition of Miss Helen Morrow, a senior in the College, who received a painful injury from a fall at the first performance of the Glee club, is improving rapidly. She hopes to be able to attend her classes Monday.
The Phi Beta Pi medical fraternity will entertain the Nu Sigma Nu medical fraternity at a banquet to be given at the Eldridge house tonight.
ENROLLMENT PLAN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
ONE-HALF OF STUDENTS ENROLLED BY NOON.
Line of Applicants Began to Form Before Sun-Rise— Seniors Have Trouble.
Over half of the College was enrolled in Robinson gymnasium by noon today. Practically all of the freshmen and half of the three upper classes have enrolled. The School of Fine Arts was the slowest, only sixty-five having enrolled at noon, and these wished to take special work.
The work is greatly facilitated this year, as all of the classes are together in one room and the unnecessary running from building to building has been done away with. The limited classes are posted up on a large board in the center of the room in sight of everyone and whenever a class is closed a red card is hung up.
The one difficulty was that Dean Johnson of the School of Education, had his office in Fraser hall, and a great many of the seniors who wanted courses in education were compelled to do some extra walking.
"The enrollment is progressing far beyond our expectations. The plan is working very well and about three times as many students have enrolled this year as in a corresponding time last year," said Professor Sissonnr, chairman of the enrollment committee, this noon.
Some dissatisfaction was shown among the students, but it was principally on account of the confusion caused by a new system and by the long delay in line.
Students began arriving at the gymnasium at 7 o'clock and by 7:30, when the front doors were opened, a long line had collected extending into the road.
The students that failed to enroll today may do so from 4:30 to 5:30 any day next week at the gymnasium.
Second Concert Successful.
The second concert given by the University Glee club Thursday night was a signal success for the club. Although the audience was not as large as that of the initial night it could not have been more appreciative and enthusiastic in its reception of the numbers rendered. The numbers which were the most popular the first night, scored heavily at the second performance.
Laura Bates, a sophomore in the College, who has been ill with scarlet fever for the last two weeks, is slowly improving.

HERE'S WORK FOR THE IN SURGENTS.
At the class elections last fall, the class politicians nearly all named their tickets "Insurgent" or "Progressive"-just because they thought they would pull more votes that way. Classes are managed in much the same way as before, with few exceptions, for all the high-sounding names indicating a change of policies There was discussed at the meeting of the Student Council Thursday night a question which will require a real, living "insurgent" and "progressive" movement to make the changes it involves a law of the student body. One Councillor reported his investigations on a scheme which is in use at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for restricting the number of school activities which can be entered by a single student.
The discussion of the report disclosed the fact that there is a well organized force of "standpatters" in the University and by a queer coincidence this force includes most of the men who are now holding the big offices within the gift of the students. It is a common thing at present for one man to fill at the same time many student offices and to participate in many student activities The small group of men who are thus enabled to wear a long string of class honors after their names in the senior Annual are in favor of having the good old way of doing things continue indefinitely. If anybody starts a movement to change things it won't be they.
That will be the work of the genuine insurgents. The many capable men and women in the University who have never enjoyed class or school honors because the places were all apportioned among a few students of extraordinary ability or students whose fortunate lots were cast with the political machines would have a chance to exercise their ability more fully if the new plan were carried into effect. That of itself seems a sufficient reason for making the change. It would contribute directly to the democracy which is supposed to be a leading characteristic of the University. But it is by no means the only good thing that would result.
Many students who are capable of "starring" in certain lines if their efforts were concentrated, do only medioere work because their interests are divided among a number of activities. We might look for student affairs of a higher grade if every student's extra-curriculum activities were restricted to a few things. "Not how much, but how well," would be the motto. A candid critic of student affairs would be compelled to admit that the application of such a motto would be a good thing.
Lastly, the rule would save the brilliant and unfortunate few whose college lives are one long story of sacrifice of studies to the demands of student activities—the few who can do everything so well that they are urged to take a hand in every organized thing that students do. The restriction of activities would keep many of them in the student body until the glad dawn of commencement day.
It seems that there is no one who wants to act as a pallbearer for college baseball. We draw this inference from the present hesitancy of both the athletic board and the Student Council to take charge of the patient, who, it must be admitted, is very low and gives few signs of recovery. "We have done our best," says the athletic board, "now you take baseball and see what you can do for it." But the men of the Student Council hang back, afraid, apparently, that the patient will die on their hands and they may be charged with responsibility for its demise. And so poor old base ball is not likely even to get decent burial. The Student Council may not be able to do much, but
rather than let the game die of neglect perhaps it had better take charge and do what it can. Help is not likely to come from any other source.
Newspapers, whatever their merits and demerits, do take up a good deal of the time of the American people, one way or another. Those who don't read them revile them, and many there be who do both. Collier's is one of the most widely praised and blamed papers of the United States. That reason alone without considering the real importance of the newspaper problem, will make the visit of Norman Hapgood, the editor of Collier's, to the University next week, one of the interesting events of the college year.
The Kansas City Journal calls editorially upon the University of Missouri to put a gag on a professor over there who is criticizing fraternities. "When Columbia wants anything it must look to its fraternity alumni for help," says the Journal, warningly.
Government Will Hold Examination for Teachers.
FOR PHILIPPINE SERVICE.
The United States Civil Service Commission announces an examination on March 8 and 9, 1911 at all the principal cities of the United States, for securing a list of eligibles from which to make selections to fill positions in the Philippine teaching service. The places to which between sixty and one hundred will be appointed for next school year are high school positions, as teachers of English, mathematics, history, science, domestic science and home economy, industrial and manual training subjects, and supervisors of the more than four thousand public schools taught by over 8,000 Filipino teachers. This is a field which requires
This is a field which requires the services of young men of superior qualifications, excellent character and good preparation, who are able to maintain a position of influence among a rapidly developing people.
For the right kind of men there are excellent opportunities to take a large part in the solution of some of the problems now confronting this country and at the same time gain an experience and training which will be of great value.
The Government offers entrance salaries of $900 to $1,200 and transportation to Manila, with promotion to $2,000. This is the last examination of the present school year and those who are appointed as a result of this examination will be expected to sail for Manilla within the next few months, ready for the opening the new school year.
Members of the junior class at Chicago will probably form a dramatic organization, which will be of a preparatory nature, leading to membership in the higher historic clubs, Blackfriars, and the Dramatic club.

Student Broad-Mindedness
Time was when we were under the impression that a university or a college stood for nothing if not for broadmindedness, liberality, tolerance of the other man's point of view. We were led to believe that prejudice and narrowness were the peculiar and characteristic traits of the unlettered masses. That was before we had donned a freshman cap.
Since then there has been a sad, sad awakening.
True enough, we have had broad-mindedness dinned into our ears semester after semester; but the lesson we are very much afraid has not as yet percolated much beyond our ears.
We have talked the gospel of broad-mindedness and heard it from the mouths of our fellow students; but our words have squeaked suspiciously like those of a phonograph or a parrot.
We are almost uncharitable in our attitude toward interests and toward people outside the University. We are too much given to snubbing the poor devils who have not been initiated into the inner recesses of college life, who are crassly ignorant of the high sign and the rah-rah and the prestitigal hand-shake. Enveloped in a nebulous mist of college atmosphere, composed largely of tobacco smoke, which after a fashion serves to hide the few tatters of learning which clothe us, we sit, smug, self-satisfied, self-sufficient.
And in our relations toward each other we cannot boast much more liberality. Supposedly intelligent and educated college people that we are, we are not altogether free from the taint of narrowness and prejudice.
It is a part of the oral history of this school that a student was once black-balled by a literary society because of her religion, or rather, because of the religion of her parents.
It is within the memory of this generation that an aspiring office-seeker was knifed on election day for the reason that he had spoken of the co-eds as "guineas."
Less than a thousand years ago a fraternity on the hill refused to consider an otherwise eligible young man for no other visible reason than that he smoked the wrong brand of cigarettes
And, to end a catalogue which we could easily make tedious, we have it on reasonably good authority that a sweet, young thing was recently excluded from the upper reaches of fudgedom, because, forsooth, the tint of her hair didn't match the sorority portieres.

MANY COACHES FOR FOOTBALL TEAM
NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED.
Benbrook, Michigan Guard, and Green, Pennsylvania Halfback Would Like to Coach K. U.
Some apprehension among the students as to the status of the football situation regarding a coach for the next year, may be relieved by the announcement by Manager Lansdon of the names of those men who handed their applications to him for the position of director of the University football team. Some of the most successful and most proficient men who are following the vocation of director of physical culture, are included in this list. Of the six men who have tendered their applications perhaps Benbrook, the guard on the All-American team selected by Walter Camp, is the most prominent. Benbrook is a senior in the University of Michigan and he stands high as a scholar.
One of the most recent men to apply for the place is John F. Bender, who coached the team of the St. Louis University last fall and the year before he coached the Haskell Indians. Bender is a graduate of the University of Nebraska.
Edward L. Greene, a post graduate of Yale, who played right half-back four years on the University of Pennsylvania, is another aspirant for the faculty position. Since his graduation from Pennsylvania three years ago he has had good success as a coach in the East, having taught the North Carolina Aggies where his team gained victories from some of the strongest teams in the South. Green is a scholar and a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
The three remaining applicants for the position are Edward B. Cochems, E. C. Quigley, and Geo Putnam. Cochems was formerly of St. Louis University and has a good record there. Quigley is a graduate of K. U. and has been considered successful as athletic director at St.Marys College. Geo Putnam, another graduate of K U. and a former football hero, at present a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, has been proposed as the faculty athletic director. Any such intention has been denied by Putnam, however, and the choice will fall elsewhere.
Manager Lansdon has instructed those who have written him, to file statements with Chancellor Strong which will be considered by the Regents at their next meeting, to be held before the close of the legislature.

New Machine Will Be Exhibited Next Week.
OF ENGINEERING INTEREST
An important feature of the work in Fowler Shops this year is the demonstration work to be carried on next week by a representative of the National-Acme Manufacturing Co., of Cleveland, Ohio, with one of their modern automatic machines. The company sends the machine and operator, and furnishes material for demonstrating the manner in which bolts, screws, nuts, and other small parts of machines are made in the modern plants of today.
Machine tools of this order have had much to do in the development of the new systems and methods of turning out work in metal working plants, of which so much has been heard during the last few months. Efficiency in the utilization of building space, power, and men's time is the key-note of the system, and this tool is an illustration of the method of securing it in one class of operations. Many who are not engineers will be interested to see the machine in operation with its almost human touch in the handling of material.
All engineers doing regular work in the machine shop will be required to make special studies and reports on the machine and on the cost of turning out work with it.
THE KNOCKERS OWN PAPER
Dartmouth Students Have Started a Journal of Protest.
Hanover, N. H., Jan. 19.—Dartmouth contributes a novelty in college journalism with the appearance of the Agora, a paper which announces that it will devote its energy to "the publication of thoughtful knocks." It is published by a board of undergraduates "for the expression of student sentiment and for open discussion of all college questions by anyone interested in the good of the college."
Two Addresses at Baptist Church
The Baptist Church, of Lawrence, has made special provision this year for a series of eight lectures by leading men of the denomination, with special reference to the needs of students. The next address of the series will be given next Sunday evening by Rolvix Harlan, of Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Harlan is a graduate of Cornell and received his doctor's degree from the University of Chicago. He is a speaker of unusual ability and will talk along lines of special interests to students. Following Dr. Harlan's address the next talk in the series will be given February 5, by Charles J. Galtin, of the University of Wisconsin.
Prof. C. Edward Hubaech, of the School of Music, will offer a new course next semester, in public and high school music. The course will consist of lectures on the care of children's voices, methods in school music, chorus conducting and organization, etc.

SHOELESS IN THE SNOW.
Plight of Student Aroused Sympathy of Citizens.
Kentucky street received a shock Tuesday afternoon, when the residents, peering in astonishment from their windows, beheld an otherwise well dressed young man hurring along toward his rooming place in his stocking feet.
The unusual occurrence was not the result of an election bet, long delayed in payment; not an exhibition of hazing; but a case of tight shoes, a good bargain, and a quantity of nerve.
Carroll Braden, a senior in the College, found his shoes too tight for comfort this cold weather, and threatened while among a crowd, to throw them away and go home in his stocking feet.
"Choppy" Clark, a junior law, offered the sum of one dollar and fifty cents for the shoes, provided Braden walk from Fraser hall to his room at 1105 Kentucky street, without them.
Braden, to the surprise of all, accepted the bargain, and handing over the shoes, pocketed the "kail" and hurried off on the icy walks, minus his tan leathers, but seemingly unconscious of the cold.
The staring crowds, who were carefully picking their way down Adams street were easily left behind, for he suffered from no danger of slipping, and it was only a matter of a few minutes until he was home. No ill effects resulted from his "stunt," but a number of kind old ladies, living on Kentucky street, are still feeling sorry for "that poor boy without any shoes."
K. C. Alumni Still Hope.
Thirty-five alumni of the University of Kansas attended a luncheon at the Kansas City Athletic club today. It was the opinion of nearly every man present that after one Thanksgiving football game had been played in Lawrence and one at Columbia, the game would be brought here. Kansas City Star.
At Champaign, Ill., an election was held last week to determine whether or not the town should adopt the commission form of government. The proposition was defeated by 21 votes, due, the Daily Illini thinks, to the fact that the vote of students of the University of Illinois was light. The Daily Illini urged the students to go the polls and vote on the proposition, but the city attorney, of Champaign threatened to prosecute students who voted.

FORMS TRIANGULAR DEBATING LEAGUE
THREE UNIVERSITIES TO DEBATE ONE QUESTION.
Short Ballot and Industrial Wages Will Be the Knotty Problems to Solve.
Professor Gessell of the department of public speaking, received an answer from the debating council of the University of Colorado, in which they accepted the proposition of Kansas to debate the short ballot question, but added that the debate should be held at Boulder, Col.
The acceptance of Colorado makes possible the formation of a Triangular Debating league between Kansas, Oklahoma and Colorado. The plan provides that the three universities will hold debates on the same evenings.
Kansas will debate at Boulder, Oklahoma at Lawrence, and Colorado at Norman. Kansas will debate the negative with Colorado and the affirmative with Oklahoma. The debate will be held the latter part of March or the first of April.
Professor Gesell, who has charge of the University debating team is well pleased with this arrangement. "This gives Kansas the chance of working up both sides of the same question. Heretofore the men were not given an opportunity to meet an opponent until the debate. Now he may have one as often as he wishes."
Two places will be filled in the debating squad January 28, when a new tryout will be held. Each man will be given five minutes in which to speak on either of the two questions. The Colorado and Oklahoma question is, "Should the short ballot be adopted in all county, municipal and state elections?" The Missouri question is, "Should minimum wage legislation be applied in the field of the sweated industries?"

WHY STUDENTS "FLUNK."
It Is Not Necessarily a Real Failure, Says Judge Smart.
The approaching slaughter of quiz week was foreshadowed in chapel yesterday morning. Judge C. A. Smart of Ottawa, the speaker, took as his subject "Flunks." "There are two reasons," said Judge Smart, "why students flunk or fail to keep up with their classes. First it is due to purposelessness and secondly to misjudgment of parents and advisers.
"The purposelessness is due to the fact that many students come to the University because they they have no other place to go, and are considered by their parents too young to go into business or get married.
Misjudgment on the part of the parents and sometimes the student himself often leads to failure in class work. Many people possess the wrong idea that what some do others can also do, if only they possess a certain amount of perseverance. This sort of advice has caused and ever will cause a great many failures. We can not make trotting horses out of pacers, neither can we develop successful professional men and women out of talent that does not harmonize with their chosen professions.
"No man should be called a failure until he has reached the end of the race. The boy or girl who is asked to leave school because of failure to keep up with their classes should not, be counted a failure. They may only be entering fields of greater usefulness They may have talents that can be better applied in other directions.
"The real failure," said Judge Smart, in closing, "is the man who fails to embrace the opportunities to do the things worth while."

NEW REGULATIONS FOR TEACHERS
MANY SUBJECTS INCLUDED IN CURRICULUM.
Faculty of the School of Education Modify the Old 125 Hour Rule.
A new requirement of fifteen hours in education for teachers' certificates was passed by the faculty of the School of Education at their meeting last Wednesday. The requirement will not, however, affect this year's seniors. They will receive their certificate according to the regulations in force last year. Juniors will be expected to fulfill the requirement.

ALL IN READINESS FOR "IDLE IDOL"
MUSICAL COMEDY THURSDAY AND FRIDAYS.
The producers of "The Idle Idol," which will appear at the Bowersock opera house Thursday and Friday nights, have worked until their play is now whipped into shape. With a few pats and touches here and there, at dress rehearsals tonight and tomorrow night, with full orchestra, "The Idle Idol" will be ready to "go."
Professional Writers Will Be Here to Witness the Red Domino's First Performance.
As the training has gone along, slight changes have been made in the comedy as originally written. These have been mostly in the direction of adding specialties calculated to make the performance livelier. Just this week two specialty dances have been added, one for each act.
The complete musical score of the play has been published by the Franklin Hudson company of Kansas City, and will be on sale Thursday and Friday nights at the opera house. The orchestrations also have been prepared by Matt Graham, one of the song writers.
"The Idle Idol" is attracting attention not only among the student body, but among the producers of musical comedy who are on the lookout for new hits. Joe Howard, who appeared in Lawrence in "The Goddess of Liberty" a few weeks ago, is much interested in the forthcoming play by the student song-writers. He has announced his intention to be present at the Red Domino production if possible, and has requested that all newspaper clippings on the play be sent him if he can not be here. Howard played the music of "The Idle Idol" while in Lawrence and was much taken with some of the songs. Mort H. Singer of Chicago the producer of the Howard plays, will have a representative at the production. Charles Dillingham of the Knickerbocker theater, New York, also will have a representative see the Red Domino play.
Seats for both performances wil go on sale tomorrow morning.
Told of Cement Mills.
Tryout for "The Bachelor.
Mr. W. H. Kniskern, who addressed the Civil Engineering society Thursday night, gave one of the most interesting talks of the year. His subject, "The Design and Construction of Cement Mills," was ably handled and illustrated with more than fifty lantern slides.
The tryout for parts in "The Bachelor" will be held this evening in Fraser hall, room 110, at 7:30 o'clock. The play will be presented by the Thespians early this spring.
MOVE DATE DOWNWARD
Plan to Change Next Fall's Foot ball Schedule.
The apprehension that rests in the minds of the students with reference to the proximity of the Nebraska and Missouri football games next fall, may be somewhat relieved by the statement of Coach A. R. Kennedy to the effect that the Nebraska game can possibly be changed to a date a week earlier than provided in the present schedule. Manager Lansdon explains the fact that the Nebraska game was scheduled for a week before the Missouri game by the statement that this date had been contracted by the managements of the universities before the Board of Regents took the action last winter changing the Missouri game to the Saturday before Thanksgiving. This date would have proved advantageous for Kansas if the last game of the season would be played on Thanksgiving, but under present conditions the Kansas team will be placed in a very precarious position as is proved by the result of the Iowa game five days before Missouri two years ago and the subsequent defeat at the hands of the Tiger team. However, ex-Coach Kennedy says that the result of a discussion of this subject by Manager Eager of Nebraska and himself confirmed his belief that the date could be moved forward a week at the convenience of both universities.
Gave German Play.
At the regular meeting of the German Verein Monday afternoon, five students of the department of Germany gave a one-act comedy entitled "Ein Knopf."
The comedy, as the name implies, consists of a hunt for a valuable button, coupled together with a romance between some students. Mrs. Newport of the department trained the cast. The following students composed the cast: Miss Tess Critchfield and Miss Hazel Leslie, Allen Wilber and Edwin Kohman.
Lecture to Engineers.
W. H. Knistern, secretary of the Freeborn Engineering and Construction company of Kansas City, gave an illustrated lecture on "Design and Operation of Cement Plants" at the Civil Engineering society meeting Thursday night. A committee consisting of Haller, Finney and Cone, was appointed to look after arrangements for the engineers' holiday.
D. C. Downton, assistant superintendent of the Westinghouse Electrical Manufacturing Co. of East Pittsburg, Pa., will speak on "Apprenticeship Courses" at the company's plant, in the lecture room of Marvin hall, at 1:30 p.m., Friday, February 3.
L. L. Stanley, '10, is in Lawrence visiting University friends. He will return Monday to Montana, where he is working on government irrigation projects.
NORMAN HAPGOOD SPEAKS TOMORROW
EDITOR OF COLLIER'S TO ADDRESS STUDENTS.
Later He Will Address Journalistic Students—A Luncheon in His Honor at Noon.
Norman Hapgood, editorial writer for Collier's, who will speak in chapel tomorrow besides being one of the best known of American journalists, has the additional advantage of possessing an interesting and likeable personality. His editorials are noted for their keen satire when the subject of attack is a dishonest politician or take the form of a literary essay when Hapgood wishes to discuss the beauties of nature or the utilities of some new invention.
Norman Hapgood is a middle-Westerner who received his education at Harvard University. By his senior year he had acquired considerable renown in school at least as a writer. After taking his A. B. degree he went to the Harvard law school for three years, but failed to do more than mediore work. His first attempt to practice his profession in Chieago proved to be a lamentable failure, and he started work as a reporter on the Chicago Post at five dollars a week. Later one of his old college friends gave him a job on the Milwaukee Sentinel at twenty dollars a week. A desire to see New York impelled him to go to that metropolis and obtain the job of reporter on the Evening Post at ten dollars a week While working on this paper as an obscure reporter he wrote a series of articles entitled "Literary Statesmen" for the Contemporary Review. From the Post Hapgood went to the Commercial Advertiser and later was promoted to the editorship of the same paper. When Robert J. Collier started Collier's Weekly he chose Hapgod to write the editorials.
H. J. Gleason writing of Hapgood in the American Magazine, says: "Hapgood is a well poised old-young man a little world-weary, who finds it better fun to dive in and out of the main currents and taste the swirl than to read and dream by the break.Dear Norman is nothing if not judicial. He keeps the approaches to his reason cleared up, in fact some of them every day, so that truth shall get in without stumbling over a rut or a speck of dust.
"He is ready for any conversational venture if you will only be frank and to the point," says Gleason, "and cut out posing. He will discuss immortality in a swift motor car ride from Fourteenth street to Twenty-sixth street, going up Broadway and then radiate kindly thoughts on the bast ball score in his musical monotone, and that without a break in the flow.
Mr. Hapgood comes here on the invitation of Professor C. M. Harger, director of the department of journalism. He will be the guest of honor at a luncheon given at the Eldridge house by Professor Har-
ger and others in the department.
Mr. Hapgood will go from here to Topeka where he is one of the speakers at a meeting of the State Editorial Association.
THE PROM ON APRIL 28.
Plans Being Formed—Farce I Nearly Ready.
Friday evening, April 28, has been selected as the date upon which the Junior Prom will be given this year. Donald McKay and Roscoe Redmond, managers of the Prom, have made some preliminary arrangements and have announced that, as last year, the farce will be given down stairs and that the dancing will be on the main floor of the gymnasium. Dates for the prom may be handed in any time to any one of the invitation committee, which consists of George Beezley, chairman; Roy Hoskins, Don Davis, Tom DeForest, Carleton Armsby, Bertha Mix ,Winifred Fisher, Mae Rossman, Nina Pilkenton, Elsie Smith.
George Bowles, chairman of the Junior Faree committee, also announces that the farce is about completed and that it will consist of a musical comedy with a chorus of twenty and about fifteen principals. It consists of two acts and it will require about two and a half hours to stage the performance. The tryout for places will be held the first week in March.
TOMMY JOHNSON RETIRES.
Has Tossed His Last Basket in K.
U. Athletics.
"Tommy" Johnson has closed the long career in which he has won athletic honors for himself and the University, by withdrawing from any further participation in athletics at the University of Kansas. The news will come as a disappointment to the students of the University who witnessed "Tommy's" phenomenal form in the first basket-ball games of the season and who hoped to have him continue a member of the varsity squad throughout the season.
A report has been circulating at the University for several days that Johnson is ineligible for athletics on account of failure in his studies. As a matter of fact,some of the athletic star's courses are in precarious shape, but no report has been turned in to the athletic board, and as Johnson has voluntarily withdrawn from athletics, no official action will be taken.
Concert Tomorrow Night.
The annual concert of Miss Elizabeth Wilson will be given next Wednesday evening, January 25, in Fraser hall, at 8 o'clock. The concert has been advertised for Thursday evening and all those who hold course tickets are asked to notice the change.
Miss Wilson is a noted contralto who, probably because she has a sister living in Lawrence, gives a concert annually before University audiences. By request Miss Wilson will sing one or two old ballads which she has used on former occasions here.
A MEMORIAL FOR PROF. F. E. BRYANT
LIFE AND HONORS REVIEWED IN CHAPEL.
Professors Hopkins and Becker Spoke on Professor Bryant's Scholarship and Character.
Memorial services for Professor Frank Egbert Bryant, who died from typhoid fever last October, were held in chapel this morning. Professor E. M. Hopkins spoke on the scholastic career of Professor Bryant and Prof. C. L. Becker read an appreciation of Professor Bryant as a man and a friend.
"Professor Bryant had already at the time of his death made his mark," said Professor Hopkins. "Although his work was not more than fairly begun he was known to linguistic scholars everywhere. The story of his life and deed is a record of labor almost uninterrupted until the fatal illness; all addressed to a definite end, and every part of it bringing desired success and deserved and high honor."
Professor Hopkins reviewed the events of Professor Bryant's life as a student and teacher. He was graduated from the Grand Rapids, Mich., high school in 1895 and from the University of Michigan in 1899. He taught a year in the Grand Rapids high school, then re-entered the University and received his master's degree in 1901. During the year 1901-2 he held a fellowship at Yale, but declined reappointment to become assistant professor of English at the University of Kansas. In September, 1910 he was made associate professor of English at the University of Kansas.In June, 1910, Harvard University made him a doctor of philosophy.
"The record of his publication is not long," said Professor Hopkins, "because he had not come to the time when publication was more than an incident. But he had a cultivated taste and a love for exact science that are not always found together. A published criticism of a German scholar's work on phonetics, showing errors of method was accepted as authoritative. The discovery of an erasure in an original manuscript of Beowulf was denied at first but afterward established, and now Professor Bryant's name is incorporated in the standard edition of Beowulf.
"Professor Bryant's most noted published work was a monograph criticising statements in Lessing's Lacocoon, which Professor Bryant discovered to be at variance with the facts in modern perience as recognized in modern psychology. European scholars recognized the truth of Professor Bryant's contentions.
"He was accurate in things infinitely small," said Professor Hopkins. "He was sensitive on minute points. He had the head of a sage and the heart of a child."

COMING EVENTS.
--only a limited number of students can be admitted be either omitted entirely or else filled by having the applicants draw lots doesn't sound to us like a good one. It isn't exactly the University's fault that there are not enough members of the faculty to open duplicate sections of every course for which there may be an unusual demand, and to close such courses altogether would prevent some members of the faculty from having enough to do to keep them out of mischief. They might take it into their heads to reform basket-ball, or something. Better keep the faculty contented and happy by giving them work to do. And to fill the classes by lot would be to put a premium on shiftlessness and to discourage the early birds of the University. Those who fail to get in are in the same position as some of the faithful reporters of The Kansan who waited until after their day's work was done last Saturday before going over to the gymnasium to register and found many courses closed which they wished to take. It's too bad, but what's to be done about it?

What has become of the student who, last September, carried his books up the hill strapped together?
There's one good thing to be said about next week: most of then will have something to worry over besides athletics.
The communication signed "reformer" elsewhere in this issue of The Kansan is illuminating enough as regards the state of mind in which "Reformer"found himself when he wrote the piece for the paper, but it throws little light on any means of changing the system of registration for the better.

At Brown a definite trial of the blanket tax assessment plan will be tried. A table is to be placed in the Administration building, at which three dollar payments for this term will be collected, and students who signed pledges as well as those who expressed themselves as supporting the scheme, will be expected to pay. Minor sports season tickets are to be given in receipt for contributions thus made to the support of Brown athletics. It is further understood that those who subscribe to the present fund will have the privilege of subscribing another three dollars in the spring for which a major sports season ticket will be given. The success of the blanket tax system is said to hinge upon the promptness of payment by those who pledged their support.

--to the author of the Kansan:
You state in the last issue of
The Kansan that the dissatisfaction shown by the students over the new system of enrollment has been due to the confusion caused by the inauguration of a new system and by the long delay in line I wish to take exception to this and to say: that with every student I have talked to, concerning enrollment, the dissatisfaction and disgust has been caused by the abominable system the University faculty has instituted of advertising classes for enrollment when they know that only a small part of the students wishing to take the courses can be admitted. It would be far better not to offer these courses at all than to practice such base favoritism and prevarication. It would be well for the University if there were a few more professors like Professor Blackmar, who, although his classes are filled to overflowing, simply remarks to new applicants for admission, "Come on, boys, I'm with you." The average professor, upon the student expressing his dissatisfaction at this state of affairs, simply replies that we should have enrolled sooner. This would not solve the difficulty, for were all the scholars to enroll early it would make no change in the ultimate result. This disagreeable state of affairs can not be easily avoided at the beginning of the school year, but there is no excuse for it at the opening of the second semester. As an improvement on this system, I suggest that the professors find out from the students whether or not they intend to enroll in these limited courses. Then if there are more students who wish to enroll in these classes than the classes will accommodate, either make more classes, eliminate the limited courses entirely, or let the students choose these courses by lot but let us at least have an element of fairness in this matter.

College Junior Keeps His Wedding a Secret.
FRANK WARD MARRIED.
Friends of Frank B. Ward, a junior in the College, from Kansas City, Kansas, were surprised to learn this week of his marriage to Miss May Wallace, of Kansas City. It is thought that the ceremony was performed during the Christmas holidays and that the couple had kept their union a secret till this week when the news leaked out through a letter to a friend here in Lawrence.
Mr. Ward is studying for the ministry of the Christian church and is planning taking work in a theological school after his graduation from the University. He has not yet selected the school that he wishes to attend. Mr Ward is a member of the University Y. M. C. A. and has been a prominent worker in that organization since he first came to Lawrence He has also been a member of the several gospel teams sent out by the Y. M. C. A. and has had two years practical experience in his chosen field of work. Last year he preached at Madison, Kansas, two Sundays out of the month and this year he goes to Lewisburg twice a month for the same purpose.

The project was seriously considered by the Columbia Forum and the Spectator published a series of editorials discussing the-merits of the system. The Forum has given no definite decision as yet in the matter. It is understood that if the Forum favors the adoption of such a system of credit, the university faculty would accede to its demands. If the Forum goes against such credit, the faculty will not consider it.

ALLEMANIA CLUB HAS DISBANDED
ONCE A POWER IN UNIVER SITY POLITICS.
Girls Withdrew From Organization and Men Will Continue as a Social Club.
Last Saturday evening the Allemania club, more commonly known as the Germanic club, which has a house at 1200 Tennessee street, disbanded after a period of ten years successful existence. The lease which the club holds upon the house does not expire for two years and it is the intention of the boys of the club to continue the club as an elective stag club.
According to a statement given out by a member of the club today, the purpose of the club will be purely social and will not as heretofore have as its primary purpose the teaching of German conversation through practice. The girls of the club have severed all connection with the organization.
Many rumors were afloat on the hill today concerning the reasons for the abandonment of the club. It was reported that it would be made a local fraternity and later would petition for a charter from a national Greek letter organization. The report was emphatically denied as unfounded by a member of the club today. "We have not petitioned any national organization for a charter and do not even intend to make the club a local fraternity, he said. "The sole reason for the discontinuance of the club was that we could not make it pay and that there was some friction between different members of the club."
The German club was first organized as a stag club in 1894 and was changed to a mixed club in 1899. All conversation at the table was carried on in the German language. The club has been considered in the past as a strong factor in University politics.

A MEMORIAL FOR PROF. F. E. BRYANT
(Continued from page one.)
WEDNESDAY
Prof. Bryant as a Friend.
"A kind of child-like directness, a certain gentle simplicity, a naive charm, delicate and winsome, was in everything he did," said Professor Becker. "This elemental simplicity furnishes the key to his strength of character and intellectual power. In the realm of conduct the same spirit of directness and simplicity seemed to be the guiding principle. In him there was in rare perfection the union of gentleness and strength.
"I think his ideas of duty were not derived from any inherited system of religion or ethics. They sprang, rather, from some innate sensitiveness, something in the moral world akin to the musician's sense of absolute pitch. In all the relations of life he was a steadfast and upright man: generous and forbearing: a man of rectitude; in spirit untarnished and in honor undefined. He was such a man as chilren love: a man that men might trust with their dearest possessions and rest secure."
The men and women of Kansas who send their children to the State University insist that the attention paid to them by their teachers be directed to the individual needs of each one. This is possible when classes are of the proper size, but when the number of teachers is too small and the number of students in a class goes as high as the dimensions of a large room will permit, it is not within the power of the teacher to give personal attention to each one. The University has done much to remedy this condition, but more remains to be done. It is the plan of the Regents to increase the number of teachers slightly for next year and to see that the greatest possible care is taken that every student should get the maximum amount of individual instruction. If the money is available the number of students in each class will be cut down as low as is maintained in the best state universities.
More Teachers, Better Training.

Fifteen Men Answered the Call of the Committee.
TENNIS COMES NEXT.
Fifteen men answered the call of the tennis committee yesterday and appointed a temporary managing committee consisting of Howard Richardson, Frank Motz, and H. Wilson who are to make all arrangements for immediate practice and are to take definite steps toward the obtaining of a schedule with Missouri Valley schools next spring. Regular practice will start next Saturday, with a round robin tournament, in which all those interested in collegiate tennis may take part. As soon as the spring opens Manager Lansdon has promised to put in either four or six clay courts south of the gymnasium. These courts will be so constructed that they will be the first step toward the installation of the new athletic field that has been designed for the University.
Although not one member of the regular varsity team last year is in school now, the prospects for a winning squad are extremely bright. H. Wilson who held the school championship while a student at Wentworth Military Academy and last year won the state championship, has signified his intention of trying for the team. J. R. Smith, a freshman engineer from Sterling, and J. H. Hanger, who has played much tennis at Baker, are trying for the squad. Howard Richardson, Frank Motz, Tom Purton, Ben Marshall, Elmer Ditmar, and Charles Hawes are former members of the varsity squad who are going to be in the running again this year.
The new booklet of Kansas University songs, which is to be published soon, will contain at least two new songs written by graduates. A short time ago, the Alumni Association asked for new and original songs, and three were turned in, two being approved by the musical committee. The authors of the new songs are Mrs. Florence Stuessi of Pittsburg, and Mrs. Lenna Brown of Kansas City.
To Write Their Own Songs.
The publishers of this collection are trying to encourage the writing of original student songs. A former edition of the book contained about a score of pieces, but most of them had either borrowed words or music.

Coach Expects Battles to Be Fast Ones—"Subs" Are Showing Great Form.
Next Friday and Saturday the Jayhawker basket-ball team will tangle in Robinson gymnasium for the first of a two-game series with the Tigers.
"That team is playing a cleaner and faster game than last year and I think I can say without a doubt that our games with the Tigers will be the hardest of the season and further. I expect that the fight for the championship title will be fought out by the Tigers and Jayhawkers next month in Columbia," is Coach Hamilton's view of the situation.
"Our team is in poor physical condition, some of the players being sick with la gripe, while others are suffering from some minor stomach troubles. Anyway, I expect the men to be in shape by Friday night when the whistle blows.
"I am surprised at the remarkable form displayed by the men playing on the College team, especially of Hite and Eisele. Moreover some of the players on the regular varsity team had better watch out for their places. The playing of the substitutes in the games to date has been good and as far as playing ability is concerned, the men are on a par."
For a State Hospital.
The plan of the University of Kansas to conduct a hospital which shall not only offer opportunity for the instruction of medical students, but shall also serve as a state hospital, has the support of practically all of the physicians of the state as well as of many others who have known of the successful operation of this plan elsewhere. Under this arrangement, the sick of the state who are unable to pay the cost of their own treatment and must be cared for by the county or city would be sent to the University hospital, and receive the best of attention from the physicians in charge. The operation of a similar plan at Michigan has shown that such a hospital can be conducted with almost no expense to the University. Each county of course, pays for the care which is given to the patients sent from within its borders. No burden a all is laid upon the state administration. After consultation and many weeks of deliberation, the University Regents have decided that Kansas City, Kansas, is the best location for such a hospital in connection with the School o Medicine of the University. The legislature is being asked to ap propriate $100,000 for the building.

PROF. AGRELIUS RESIGNS.
Joes to State Normal School February 6.
Prof. Frank U. G. Agrelius, instructor in botany, has tendered his resignation to the University authorities, taking effect February 6. He goes to the State Normal school at Emporia, to accept a position as an assistant in the same department, at an increase in salary. His family will remain in Lawrence until June 1, when they will move to Emporia. However, Mr. Agrelius will be in Lawrence during weekends in order to assist in the transferring of his botanical specimens to his new location.
He graduated from the University in 1907, receiving his degree of A.M. in 1908. After his graduation from the University he accepted a fellowship in botany at the University of Missouri and the following fall he returned to the University to be an assistant in the department of biology. He is also a member of the Sigma Xi, an honorary scientific fraternity.
The director of athletics of Wisconsin, who recently went on record as favoring an investigation into the merits of Rugby and who was widely misquoted as to his statements with regard to the status of the American game, concludes an alumni article on the subject as follows: "Inter-collegiate sport is an essentially vital factor in achieving the highest social, moral and ethical results from our inter-collegiate spirit. If Rugby is a superior game, it will win on its merits; if it is not, inter-collegiate football will hold its own. Wisconsin will not force one against the other."

A NEW JOURNALISM HAPGOOD DECLARES
NUMBER 46
WILL PURIFY NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINE, HE SAYS.
Famous Editor Made Three Ad dresses While in Lawrence Yesterday—In Topeka Today
>
That there is a new journalism—one which will purify the newspapers and magazines of this country—is the belief expressed by Norman Hapgood, editor of Collier's Weekly, in his address before the newspaper classes yesterday.
Mr. Hapgood made three talks while in Lawrence. The first was in the chapel before the entire student body. The second was given before the students in journalism, and the third at a luncheon at the Eldridge house in his honor It was in the second speech that Mr. Hapgood dwelt upon the new journalism.
"The time is at hand," he said "when editors will cease to sell their right to an unbiased opinion to corporate interests or to advertisers. Already 'big business' is beginning to realize this and in many instances are forced to buy controlling stock in publications in order to influence public opinion in certain localities.
"Newspapers are acquiring higher ethical standards than they once had. The best ones no longer expect their reporters to violate confidences or do anything for their papers which they would be ashamed to do privately."
---
The journalist declared that there were, however, insidious dangers which threatened the freedom of newspapers, and various ways in which influence is brought to bear upon them. To listen to the requests of a big advertiser in matters regarding policy is still a temptation constantly present.
"The controversy was not over Mr. Post's right to advertise bran as food," he said, "but the verdict showed that a New York jury believed that Collier's was right in claiming that Mr. Post had no right to advertise his product as a cure for ailments varying from appendicitis to loose teeth."
Mr. Hapgood referred to the $50,000 verdict which Collier's recently won from C.W.Post,the breakfast food manufacturer.
In his first address in chapel Mr Hapgood reviewed the present day problems of society which he said the students now in colleges would have to help to solve.
"In a civilization where production has increased many fold by modern methods, the great problem now is to distribute the product equitably to all. A beginning has been made in the solution of the question. Industrial organizations, swept along by the tide of American ethical progress, are now of their own accord assuming responsibility for the welfare of their workers, though but a few years ago liability laws were unheard of.
"The big questions of human right must be approached carefully and cautiously, but open mindedly. In the light of modern knowledge we must recognize that many institutions thoroughly established are wrong. On the
other hand nothing can be more injurious to the accomplishment of democracy than the widespread feeling that laws aimed at railroads and corporations are laws aimed at the enemies of the private citizen.
"Patient comparison of ideals and benefits by laborers and capitalists must be employed to solve the problem."
Mr. Hapgood is a strong supporter of the Theodore Roosevelt, whom he characterized as one of the far-seeing men of our age, the best representative of the modern view of the "square deal."
At the down town luncheon Mr. Hapgood related personal experiences and anecdotes for the benefit of the local newspaper people. He went to Topeka early last evening and remained there last night, the guest of Governor W. R. Stubbs. He was met there this morning by Regent William Allen White, with whom he will go to Emporia.
BACHELOR CAST CHOSEN.
Thespian Play Will Be Given February 22 and 23.
The tryout for places on "The Bachelor," which the Thespians will produce on the evenings of February 22 and 23, was held Tuesday evening in Fraser hall. Announcement was made today of the following cast of characters:

NEED MORE DEBATERS.
A tryout will be held in the lecture room in Green hall to fill the two vacancies the team composing the Missouri debating squad. Two men will form the squad that will go to Columbia to meet the Missouri debaters, April 29. The question to be discussed is the "Minimum wage legislation in the field of sweated industries."
Two Men to Be Chosen for Missouri Squad.
The New Station Ready.
The new street car station in the hollow at the rear of Green hall has been completed. The depot was erected by the Kansas City Structural Steel company of Kansas City, Mo. Later in the spring a concrete platform will be laid.
CHANCE OF VICTORY SMALL---HAMILTON
VARSITY MAY NOT WIN FROM TIGERS, HE SAYS.
Johnson and Smith Are Both Out of Line-Up and Missouri Is Very Strong.
The prospects for victory for the Kansas team in the basketball games with Missouri Friday and Saturday nights in the gymnasium, are not promising, according to Coach W. O. Hamilton
He says, "the result of the games as far as we are concerned, all depends upon how the men feel on Friday and Saturday nights. The Missouri five will play the hardest games of the season and the varsity men will have to show a remarkable reversal of form from the game that they have been playing the last week. I am not at all satisfied with the way in which the boys have been playing this week. The College team has defeated them two nights by good scores. Jim Smith is seriously ill and will not be on the squad for the games. I have told the members of the College team to come out in suits for the game and in case of an emergency some of the best of that squad could be used. Some of the members of the varsity squad may be replaced by men on the College team who are showing especially good form.
"Missouri's line-up presents a very strong team, since they have four of their old men back on the squad and the new men are good players as I have reason to know from coaching them while at Central high school, Kansas City, and at William Jewell College."
ANOTHER FEVER CASE.
Miss Clara Clayton Has Contract ed the Disease.
One more new case of scarlet fever has broken out at the University. Miss Clara Clayton, a sophomore in the College, of Great Bend, is the latest to take the disease. Her case at present is very light. Her mother has arrived from Great Bend to take care of her.
Miss Clayton is supposed to have contracted the disease from a maid who recently came from one of the quarantined families. She is now confined at the home of Prof. L. E. Sayre, who has arranged to take his meals out while the house is under quarantine.
The other fever patients are all convalescent and it is only a matter of time until they will be able to resume their studies.
Representative McGregor of Summer county introduced a resolution into the house at Toppea this morning, providing for a School of Health at the University. By the terms of the bill all county health officers will be obliged to take a course in the school at the University each summer.
Would Have a Health School.
No Chapel Speech Tomorrow.
There will be no chapel speaker Friday morning as Norman Happgood's talk on Wednesday took the place of the Friday chapel speech.

"Idle Idol" Songs Will Be Sold Tonight.
The score book for the "Idle Idol" will appear tonight. And it is safe to say that the book will be a credit not only to the producers and writers, but to the University as well. Within the cover, which is printed in red and silver on a green background, are forty-five pages. There are twenty songs, half written by George Bowles and half by Matt Graham, R. E. Gilman and H. Campion also contribute one of the numbers.
The majority of the songs are clever. The music is catchy and well written, and the entire book makes a neat appearance. The names of the Red Domino club members and those in the "Idle Idol!" cast appear on the first two pages. The book will be sold for $1.00.
BARFIELD MAY SPEAK HERE

WALSH SPEAKS TONIGHT.
Prof. R. R. Price, of the University extension department has learned that Harry Garfield, son of James A. Garfield, and President of Williams College, has dates to speak at Iowa State College and Colorado State College in the near future and he is trying to arrange to have him speak at the University of Kansas. Although nothing definite has been done as yet, Professor Price is making every effort to get a University date with the Eastern president.
Kansas City Attorney on "The Lawyer's Opportunity
Mr. Frank P. Walsh, a prominent Kansas City attorney, will give the third of a series of talks "with the bark on" at the regular Y. M. C. A. meeting tonight in Myers hall. He will speak on "The Lawyer's Opportunity." Mr. Walsh was attorney for the defense in the recent Hyde trial and was brought into prominence by the ability he displayed. He has been practicing law in Kansas City for the last twenty-one years.
A BIG RUSH FOR "THE IDLE IDOL"
BREAKS THE RECORD FOR ADVANCE SALES.
Indications Are House Will Be Filled for Both Performances Story of the Play.
All records of advance seat sales for University dramatic productions have been broken by "The Idle Idol." Nearly every seat in the house has been sold for the initial performance tonight, and the sale for tomorrow night's performance indicates that the attendance then will tax the capacity of the opera house.
The curtain will go up tonight on the first musical comedy ever written, staged, and acted by University of Kansas students. Interest in the production has been intense and this accounts for the new record of advance sales.
The producers of the play feel confident that the curiosity of the public will be fully satisfied by what they will see tonight, Song hits, local allusions, and the working out of the plot will, they think, be enough to make a lasting impression on the audience.
The Story.
The first act has a setting that will be familiar to all University students. Raymond Walters, is a student at the University who, because of his wealth and social position, has assumed a haughty attitude toward his fellow students. His times are spent in lolling over the campus with young women, and because of his actions he has been called "The Idle Idol." Raymond's father, who is a graduate of the University, comes back to his Alma Mater to visit, but before he meets him he talks with several students regarding his son and discovers the epithet that has been applied to his son Deciding that drastic measures are needed to restore Raymond to his proper appreciation of his opportunities, when he meets his son he informs him that he is to be cut off without a cent of support from home and that henceforth he must shift for himself.
The second act finds Raymond acting as fountain boy at one of the popular confectionaries of the city and in his position as "soda squirt" he retains his former haughty spirit and refuses any overtures from his parents. Dessa Margin, a student with whom Raymond has been particularly intimate before his fall from affluence, is the only one who protests her love for him at all times. Raymond's father finding that the change has worked a wonderful good on his prodigal son, finally influences him to return home and with this return of the prodigal comes Dessa as the wife of Raymond.
There are many other principal characters as well as a chorus off twenty. Several of the songs contain local hits among them being "Scandal," "Ach, My Lena," "Curiosity," and "Hyball."
The part of Raymond will be taken by Joe Marshall and Marguerite Stone will be the fair Dessa.

"Student" comes to the front today with a few suggestions about the enrollment of students for the second term's work. In the opinion of "Student" there ought to be more advisors, especially for the lower classes. This would help to lessen the hours of standing in line, and certainly some method ought to be devised that would make it possible to enroll with less discomfort. A half-day of standing in line may not be a high price to pay for a term's instruction, but it is too much if it is avoidable.
A communication to the Topeka Capital protests against the equipment of a School of Medicine by the state. "There are already excellent schools engaged in that work," says the complainant. "Why should the state seek to cripple them by providing practically free training at great expense for prospective physicians?" The Capital correspondent is about a century behind the times in urging as a valid argument against the equipment of a school of medicine by the state that private interests represented by other schools will suffer. The "excellent" schools for training in medicine would not be affected by the state school. Only the small, starving institutions which are responsible for having filled the profession with incompetent men would suffer. This is one of the questions in which considerations of public welfare come into conflict with private interests. The small medical chools are not performing adequate service and should give place to a state school equipped according to modern standards.
Norman Hapgood made some assertions in his chapel talk yesterday of a kind not usually heard by college audiences. Students are not often told that no institution is sacred by reason of its great antiquity, that some of the oldest institutions of society are wrong and must give place to things that are right. Mr. Hapgood is a fine example of the militant journalist who aims to guide public opinion in right channels without fear of consequences. He has a way of looking at things which is scholarly and at the same time from the point of view of one outside the schools, and his interesting and invigorating talks were among the best heard by the students this year.

While the discussion of bluffers is going on, it may be in order to reprint a contribution by "Mary Jane" to the Daily Student of Indiana University. "Mary Jane" evidently doesn't like the bluffing tribe, which is encouraged to multiply by the Colorado Silver and Gold, in the words: "It is better to have bluffed and flunked than never to have bluffed at all." Here is what "Mary Jane" thinks of the bluffer:
"Indiana is blest with Bluffers. Every class boasts of two or three of these wily creatures. It is great fun to watch the unfolding of their deep, dark plots. Their self-assurance is wonderful, and their arrogance even more astonishing. They boast of fooling the prof—a great compliment to the teachers of Indiana University. Undoubtedly the Bluffer's game is more obvious to the professor than to anyone else.
"Bluffing is one of those mistaken notions so prevalent among students in general. People who expect to reach success by this road have read the wrong sign. It is merely a by path that leads to nothing.
"These skilled salvers are marvelously verbose. Indeed, a ready tongue is quite necessary to the Bluffer. When called up to recite, he seizes upon the first subject that comes to his mind and delivers upon it a wordy harangue, that bores the class to extinction. Occasionally, the professor loses all patience, and tells the Bluffer in a tone that is ironically polite that his excursion is all very lovely, but it would perhaps be wiser to get on the subject—or cease speaking. For very obvious reasons the Bluffer chooses the latter course. "Bluffers on the whole are a great nuisance. They waste time bore the class, weary the prof., and most of all, they cheat themselves."
"MARY JANE."
He Counts Light Rays.
E. Bruce Blair, a graduate student, spoke before the Physies club Wednesday at 4:30 in room 201 of Blake hall. His talk was on light and he told of a new method of counting the number of lines in a wave length of light or in a defraction grading. According to the speaker, there are 17,000 lines of light to the inch, so the counting is very difficult and delicate work. The talk was a review of an article in an English scientific magazine.
Prof. J. W. Young, head of the Mathematics department, has accepted a position to teach during the Summer Session at the University of Chicago, which extends from June 19 to Sept. 1. He will offer a course in Projective Geometry and Solid Analytic Geometry.

Shooing Out THE SHOES!
Some Suggestions Concerning Enrollment.
The system was successful from the faculty point of view, but students are human and like a fair show, too. Why could not both the large gymnasium rooms be used and three times as many teachers?
In the last issue of The Kansan, "Reformer" entered a protest against the new system of enrollment, but failed—it seems to me—to reach the base of the dissatisfaction among the students. It is true that a great many were disappointed in arranging their courses as they had planned, but this is a condition which can be remedied only by an increase in faculty members. Since the legislature does not seem inclined to relieve the situation little can be done. My protest is against the small number of advisors allowed each class. The freshmen alone, however, with the number they should have had would have taken up the entire floor allotted to the College. But as it was, with all the classes in one room, the freshmen arriving at 8 had to stand out doors three quarters of an hour, and then spend an hour standing in line before reaching their advisors. Three men attempted to enroll the sophomores The line moved so slowly that the whole east half was packed with students who had stood there two hours and a half by the time the other entrances were cleared. The juniors and seniors also had three advisors each but since the classes were smaller the halls were not so crowded. It took the majority of the sophomores between four and five hours to enroll.

BOODIN WRITES FOR "WHO'S WHO" IN LEARNING.
Book Is Devoted to Writings of Educators From All Parts of tne World.
Prof. J. E. Boodlin of the department of philosophy, was one of the contributors to "Almanaceo del 'Coenobium' pel 1911," published in Lugano, Italy. The society which publishes this book also issues an international monthly magazine for "the ad valence of Liberal Studies."
This is the third yearly edition of the work. It is a sort of "Who's Who" in the world of learning. From the title page the following is a translation: In connection with each day of the year a short thought, a poem, an aphorism especially adapted for it, by writers, thinkers, and scientists of the world. The articles are printed in the language of the country in which the author resides.
Other American contributors were Prof. J. Royse, of Harvard; Prof. A. Schinz, of Bryn Maur Prof. A. H. Lloyd, of Michigan, and the late Prof. W. James, of Harvard.
Professor Boodin's article which appears under the date of February 14 is as follows:
"Reality reveals itself in five different ways. It has five windows. It reveals itself to our purposive endeavor as a world of restless energies which appear in certain practically predictable sequences; it reveals itself further as time which belies our past judgments and makes new judgments necessary; further we must take account of space as the condition of externality and free mobility in the world of inter-acting energies; we must add consciousness as another fact different from the processes, of which complexity it is the condition of awareness; we must finally recognize the universe as having form or direction—the condition for our realization of value. This is the five-fold truth of reality, the five independent variables, by means of which we must describe it"

Daily Princetonian Criticises the Honor Society.
WHAT IS PHI BETA KAPPA? HOME DAIRY LUNCH ROOM
The Daily Princetonian, the college daily of Princeton University, has created a sensation in collegiate circles by an editorial published Thursday and headed, "What is Phi Beta Kappa?" As organized now the society is termed "useless" by the writer. Following is the editorial:
"It is a misnomer to refer to Phi Beta Kappa as a Society in Princeton, for it nexer exists during the college course except for the one short day at Commencement, and then only during one short meeting for organization and the distribution of keys. All that is known here of Phi Beta Kappa is the bare knowledge gleaned on the last day of the-college year that a certain few Seniors have been granted the privilege of wearing the key. Membership in Phi Beta Kappa in Princeton at present is impossible for the undergraduate and for graduate members means only the right to wear the sign of an honor won.
"The usefulness such a society should exercise here and does wield in many other universities, is lost entirely under its present organization. As an incentive to work, it is of little importance because it carries with it no practical advantages in itself. As a means to increase general activity, it is useless, because its butterfly existence lasts but a day. And as an honor, it receives far less attention and respect than its high requirements make it deserve, because it is revealed to the general body of undergraduates only on the one occasion.
"Why not elect men at the beginning of the junior year who have been high honor men in Freshmen and Sophomore years, thereby affording an opportunity for permanent organization? Phi Beta Kappa would then be a Society in fact as well as in name. It could meet once a month for discussion. It could arrange lectures to be delivered before it by men of prominence outside. It could also have its social side in the development of close flowship among men of similar tastes, the great basis for congeniality. With a permanently existing organization, the advantages of this honorable society could easily and properly be set forth to under-classmen and particularly to the incoming class."

TO STERILIZE WATER.
Hypochlorite of Lime Should Be Used, Says Chemist.
Frederick W. Bruckmiller, assistant water analyzer, spoke before the Chemical club Wednesday evening at 5 in the chemistry building. His subject was "The Sterilizing of Water." He declared the best method of sterilizing water is to use calcium hypochlorite. This, according to the speaker, is what the Lawrence water company tried to do one day several weeks ago. However, they used too much of the chemical and the water had an unpleasant taste. At present Mr. Bruckmiller and C.C. Young, also in the department of water analysis, are working on plans for such a plant being installed at Iola. By their plans the chemical is dissolved in water and then sprayed into the water mains.
To Tell of German Schools.
Prof. Allen H. Seipt of the department of German, will speak before the German society Monday at 4:30 in room 303 of Fraser hall. His subject will be the "German School System."

Mr. Seipt was in Germany a year before coming here last fall and there had a good opportunity for the study of the school system.

KANSAS TOOK FIRST IN MISSOURI SERIES
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1911
WON IN BASKET-BALL BY A SCORE OF 34 TO 28.
Stuckey and Long Did the Stellar Work for Kansas—Cohen the Tiger Star.
The Jayhawk five took the first game of the Kansas-Missouri basket-ball series in Robinson gymnaium last night by a score of 34 to 28. Missouri proved herself the most formidable opponent that Kansas has met this season, but by the excellent team work the light Jayhawks were able to gain a victory over their heavier neighbors.
The stellar goal-shooting o Long and the field goals of Stuckey were the features of the game. In the second half Long made nine straight free-throw goals, Stuckey, who was in at Tommy Johnson's place, made five goals from the field. Heizer, Dousman, and Larsen, by their aggressive work in carrying the ball down the court and by their consistent blocking the Missouri goal-shooters, saved the Jayhawkers from defeat several times during the second half.
At the end of the first half the score stood 13 to 7 in favor of Kansas, but at the beginning of the last half, Parker, the Tiger left forward, started in for a series of field and free goals. It was during this period of the game that the Kansas five showed form in goal shooting, Stuckey, Heizer, and Douseman, each making two baskets. Here the crowd started in to cheer and the hall was in a continuous up-roar until the end of the game.
In the half Parker added thirteen points to the Missouri score. Cohen, the captain of the Tiger five, who made two baskets in the second half, was one of the star players for the visiting team.

BASEBALL OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Eight of Last Year's Varsity Squad Are Eligible.
After all the base ball situation at this University is not in such a sad plight as some of the followers of the sport are wont to imagine. There are at the present time eight men of the last year's squad who are eligible for the team this year. They are Capt. Haller, Farrell, Heizer, Locke, Wilhelm, Palmer, J. Smith, and Walker. All of the last year's freshman with the possible exception of Hicks who played some semi-professional games this summer, will be eligible so far as the rules of professional ball playing are concerned. As soon as the quizzes are over indoor practice will be started in the gymnasium and as soon as the weather permits regular workouts will be held on McCook field.
Manager Lansdon distributed the "K" baseball jerseys Thursday to the players on the team last year and at that time said that he could see no reason why the team should be crippled in the rulings regarding professionalism.

"THE IDLE IDOL"
PROVED A SUCCESS
The Nu Sigma Nu medical fraternity has pledged Henry J. John of Lawrence.
FIRST ORIGINAL COMEDY FAVORABLY RECEIVED.
Interest in the Play Began With the Overture and Lasted Until End.
It was with all the anticipatory excitement that attends the performance of a brand new play that the audience awaited the rising of the curtain. This sense of novelty marked the audience's reception of every part of the play—a keen interest in what was happening on the stage at the moment, and wonder at what was coming next. It was not a critical, but an interested audience and it is to the credit of the play and the performers that the interest did not slacken throughout the three hours that were required for the Idle Idol to get into trouble and out again.
"The Idle Idol," presented at the Bowersock opera house Thursday and Friday nights, was a success in every way. The public was satisfied and pleased with the first musical comedy that students have written, staged and acted, and the student authors and actors were pleased with the highly complimentary reception given the play, for a crowded house saw the performance each night.
The actors had been well trained by Miss Gertrude Mossler and it may be credited to her that the play went through with fewer than the usual number of hitches common to amateur performances. The players also are to be complimented on their work. The songs were cleverly sung, the lines plainly spoken, and it would be hard to tell who were the favorites of the audience All were enceded repeatedly and the chorus as well as the principals deserve credit for the generally favorable impression which the comedy made.
A specialty act which proved of great interest was the feature dance by George Stevens and Harriet Merriam.
The students who collaborated in the production of the songs and book of "The Idle Idol" are George Bowles, Moe Friedman, and Matt Graham. R. E. Gilman and H. Campion wrote one of the songs. Donald McKay managed the production.
TO BE REPRESENTED
But Colored Women Students Will Not Have Council Member.
At a meeting of the Women's Student Government association Thursday it was decided to allow the colored women students of the University to organize a district and elect a district chairman upon the same plan followed by the other district organizations of the Women's Council. They will have no representative on the Council as was rumored in student circles two weeks ago.
Mr. C. A. Gable, who for the past year has been conducting experiments in Kansas for the United States Bureau of Entomology, is doing this work this week in the department of entomology at the University.
SUFFERED SUDDEN ILLNESS
John Curran, a Freshman, Attacked by Muscular Cramp.
John H. Curran, a freshman in the College, suffered a severe attack of muscular cramp last night while returning home from the Sophomore class party. Curran was passing the Sigma Nu house at 1246 Oread when he felt the illness coming upon him. A number of the members of that fraternity cared for him during the night and this morning. This afternoon his condition is not greatly improved and he will probably be removed to a hospital this evening if the attending physicians think it advisable.
Curran entered the University this fall, coming from the State Normal at Emporia. He is a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
WHO WILL TAKE THE FIFTY?
A Scholarship Awaits Some Good Sophomore.
The committee in charge of the Students' Loan Fund finds itself in the unique position of trying to bestow a scholarship and finding no applicants for it. The Charles S. Griffin memorial scholarship, $50 in amount, is still open to any boy in the sophomore class who can use the sum properly in paying his expenses the rest of the school year.

THANKSGIVING GAME GOES TO COLUMBIA
DECISION WAS PRACTICALLY REACHED THIS MORNING.
Ratification by K. U. Athletic All That Is Needed to Settle Question Finally.
The next annual Kansas-Missouri football game will be played at Columbia, in all probability. Coach Brewer of Missouri, who is here today with the Tiger basketball five, and Manager W. C. Lansdon, have practically reached that decision. All that remains is the ratification of the University athletic board. A meting of that body will be held Tuesday and the matter will then be definitely settled.
"There is no doubt in my mind," said Manager Lansdon today, "that the game will be played at Columbia next fall. Coach Brewer and I had a conference this morning and the matter will be checked up to the athletic board Tuesday."
"We believe that it is no more than fair that we have the first of the at-home series of Thanksgiving games," was Coach Brewer's statement this morning. "For many years we have been compelled to travel something like 200 miles for the game while you people have been only forty miles away from the seat of battle. That's the reason we asked that the game come to Columbia next fall."

That it is the duty and privilege of the state to make education in the higher schools of learning absolutely free, "that not one poor, ambitious boy may be turned away from their doors,"" is the stirring idea advanced by General W. H. Sears of Lawrence in an interview given out at Washington this week. The question of fees at the state schools was discussed to some extent before the present session of the Legislature convened. There was a movement on foot to increase the fees now required of students at the University. The system of charging nominal fees is pursued in nearly every university of the Middle West, and in only one—Nebraska are the fees lower than at Kansas. The fees in the College of the University of Kansas are so low that it is unlikely that a hardship is worked upon any student but it is the belief of The Kansar that if any change is made the fees in the professional schools might well be lowered. An increase at any point might keep
some students away who otherwise would come. Fees help to eke out the income of the University, but Chancellor Strong has said that their chief use is in excluding the "floaters" and irresponsibles who ought not to be allowed to take away the instructors' attention from the students who have a serious purpose. They do not need to be larger than they are at present to perform that service. The idea of a University education absolutely free has much to commend it. Even the "floaters" and irresponsibles are given the ballot and have the other duties of citizenship incumbent upon them. The ideal of the State University is to prepare students for citizenship and even the classes excluded by the fee system might be made better citizens by an attendance at the University, however brief it might be
"Are you a real student, or are you merely attending school?" asks the Daily Nebraskan. This is the time of year when the answer in some cases is likely to be 'Neither.'
The visit of Norman Hapgood to the University has stirred up a considerable amount of healthy discussion among the students as to the real value to society of the causes to which Mr. Hapgood is devoting his journalistic talent. It was known in advance that Mr. Hapgood held some political ideas that may be called radical. Mr. Frank P. Walsh, who came to the University as the Y. M. C, A. speaker Thursday night, said more startling things, however. Probably they were startling chiefly because people generally have come to regard lawyers, as a class, as the conservators of the established order and as opponents to radical change. Mr. Walsh's address ought to go far toward removing any impression that lawyers are necessarily blindly conservative. He showed that in the progress of society there is work which no one can do so well as they. The visits of such men as Mr. Hapgood and Mr.Walsh are of the greatest benefit to students, giving the study of social problems the reality of living issues rather than reducing them to the dead level of purely academic questions. University students have reached an age when they must think for themselves. They can make better use of their book learning if they are visited frequently by men "from the firing line" who will arouse interest, argument, and support or opposition. A live idea in a student's head is worth a thousand stored away in books.
Why should the students, through their representative, the Student Council, shrink from the work of determining the eligibility of participants in student athletics? Is it because they are not in sympathy with the rules of eligibility, or because they regard such rules merely as a means of maintaining the respectability of the University before the other hold that it is the proper thing to
members of the conference, and disregard them if it can be done safely? If eligibility rules are at present unfair, it is the duty of students to agitate until they are made fair. Once the rules are agreed upon, the students should be willing to enforce them. To claim in public that the rules are observed while at the same time privately winking at their violation is as unbecoming to students, to use a mild term, as any other form of double dealing.

Against Hissing.
To the Editor of The Kansan.
I move that this be declared the open season for the idiot who tries to express his school spirit by hissing the basket-ball official when a decision adverse to the home team is made. The game laws are being stretched entirely beyond their original intent when they are made to protect this kind of college animal. The worst of the situation is that he thinks he is covering himself with glory when as a matter of fact he is only making an ass and a cad of himself, and bringing humiliation to those who have any respect for decent behavior. There should be a committee appointed to clap the lid on when next this noisy nuisance starts to insult the official and disgrace the University.

"THE JUDGES ARE THE REAL RULERS'
F. P. WALSH SAYS THEY RUN THE COUNTRY.
Kansas City Attorney Says the Lawyer's Chance for Service Is Greater Than Ever.
"The judges are the real rulers of the country today, it is to the lawyers that the people must look for an able and honest judiciary," said Frank P. Walsh, of Kansas City in his talk at Myers hall Thursday night. Mr. Walsh's subject was "The Lawyer's Opportunity," and he declared that the opportunities for public service are greater for lawyers today than ever before.
"The country now faces decisions of the courts that are more important than the Dred Scott decision," said Mr. Walsh. "The great economic questions must be settled by the courts. Already the rule that a law is constitutional until it is proved otherwise has been abrogated by numerous courts. Courts as they are constituted at present are doing away with the ancient rule that the will of the people is sovereign. The status of the courts in our scheme of government soon must be decided anew. There should not be one law for the rich and another for the poor, and the operation of the law should always be certain.
"The next great political leader of the English-speaking race will be the man who will lead in law reform, in the direction of simplicity and clearness of the law; who will recognize that while the rights of property are sacred human rights are more saecred."
"Don't run for office," was Mr. Walsh's advice to lawyers. He said that those who become professional office seekers were left behind in their profession.
"Lawyers should bend their energies to the cause of the square deal," said Mr. Walsh. He described the "lawyers' lobby" which a group of Kansas City lawyers maintained at Jefferson City under the Folk administration, and which had for its object the matching, free of expense, of any lobby which the special interests might maintain at the capital. Some of the progressive legislation of that administration, such as the public utilities law, the child labor law, the law strengthening the state labor bureau, and the liabilities law, Mr Walsh said were due largely to the work of the "lawyers' lobby."
"Kansas City is the example of the cities of the United States in the care of the criminal and unfortunate," said Mr. Walsh, "and the lawyers are playing an important part in that work. They have established a bureau where free legal service is furnished to those who are unable to pay for it, and thus many instances of wrong and oppression are prevented."

Only Undiluted Apple Juice Should Be Used.
Prof. H. L. Jaekson has returned from Washington where he attended the "Hearing on Vinegar" and presented the views of Kansas on the subject of elder vinegar.
The attitude taken by the state is that that commodity should be composed entirely of undiluted apple juice, and if made from apple-waste products should be so labeled. Another question on the labeling of substance made from beet sugar was also discussed.

Mass. Tech Needs More Money.
President Richard C. Maclaurin of Massachusetts institute of Technology, has recently written to Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, asking his help in securing a larger appropriation from the state legislature for the support of the school. President Maclaurin is asking for an increased annual appropriation from $25,000 to $100,000 for the next ten years. He says that in the policy for greater development it will be necessary for the institute to leave Boston and locate in some place where its maintenance will be cheaper unless it does receive the desired increased financial support.
University Well Represented.
The University of Kansas was really better represented at the annual meeting of the Kansas Engineering society, at Topeka, January 20 and 21, than some of the reports would lead one to believe. Among those who attended the meetings were, Dean Marvin, Prof. H. A. Rice, Prof. B. J Dalton, and Prof. H. A. Parker, Professor Rice read a paper o: "SomeTests of Concrete Beams," and Professor Dalton, had a paper on "the Classification of the Graduation on Railroad Construction."

TO ABOLISH FEE SYSTEM AT U. OF K.
"MAKE SCHOOLS FREE,"
SAYS GENERAL SEARS.
Lawrence Citizen in Washington Interview Urges Legislators to Discontinue Fee System.
General W. H. Sears of Lawrence gave out an interview at Washington, D.C., this week urging the abolition of students' fees and the establishment of a free University in Kansas. The Kansas delegation in congress is said to be much interested in General Sears' views. He made public in the last interview the following letter from Chancellor Strong, written following a previous interview on the same subject:
"Lawrence, Jan. 5, 1911.
"Dear General W. H. Sears: I was interested in reading the dispatch from Washington in the Topeka State Journal in regard to your views about the fees charged at the University of Kansas. I wish to thank you for the same, and say that I have seen some indications of a movement to largely increase the fees charged at the University. I hope that you will be interested against the movement.
"To increase the fees at the University for the purpose of raising revenue is simply to put a tax on boys and girls who in large numbers pay either a considerable part or the whole of their way through the university. Large fees are a direct blow at the poor man and his children and are contrary to the interests of democracy.
"I do not object to a small fee so long as it is not large enough to be in any sense a tuition. It should not be a burden even upon the poor man and his children, but should be just enough to keep out the floaters or those who are not seriously interested in education, and whom the state could not afford to spend its money upon. Thanking you again, I am sincerely yours."
"FRANK STRONG,
'Chancellor.'
"Every member of the Kansas legislature should read the Chancellor's letter on this important subject, which is a message of hope and opportunity to the poor boys and girls of the state," said General Sears. "The text, the key note of this magnificent letter is found in this sentence: 'Large fees are a direct blow at the poor man and his children, and are contrary to the interests of democracy.' This is a trumpet call to the voters of the state to restore this great University to the children of the people who, while they are now paying more than half and perhaps two-thirds of the taxes levied for its support, are too poor to send their children to it and pay the excessive fees charged.
"In other words, most of these poor boys and girls need the money that is now taken from
them for fees, to pay for their books, board, clothes and incidents, during the school years.
"Rather than turn one poor, eager, ambitious boy away, who might become great in the field of science, invention or discovery, and, so enrich the world for all time, as Edison has done, rather than refuse him admittance, I would make this great, proud University absolutely free forever.
"Present this grave question to the members of the Kansas legislature in its true light, and I believe they will vote unanimously to abolish all fees, and at the same time give the University enough money for the maintenance so that the fees will not be needed.
"State Senator Louis P. King of Cowley county was right when he said: 'Small as my taxes are, I would gladly pay $1 a year more for the sake of a free University for the poor boys and girls of this state.' This is the sentiment that should actuate the members of the Kansas legislature today. The perpetuity of free government depends upon the widest possible extension of free education, and the higher the training that can be given the masses, the more surely will republican institutions endure."

Dr. Evans of Ohio State says that the students are all anxious to see the University a member of the Conference and it looks as though this could be brought about as State is certainly in a class with Purdue, Iowa and Indiana.-Oberlin Review.

ELIGIBILITY RULES WILL KILL SPORTS?
STUDENTS MUST SAVE ATH LETICS, SAYS McCLUNG.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1911
Unless Some Action by Students Baseball's Hard Luck Will Spread, He Says.
All intercollegiate sports will be abolished in the Missouri Valley conference if the matter of eligibility is not taken up by the students of the University, is the opinion of Professor McClung, faculty member from Kansas to the Missouri Valley conference.
Baseball has been abolished, for the coming season, by Washington, Nebraska, and Ames. The athletic authorities at those schools found they were unable to determine the amateur standing of the players. At the conference at Des Maines it was suggested that the matter could be left with the students of the different institutions to settle the question of eligibility of their own players. Many of the representatives to the conference did not think that the students could handle the matter.
Professor McClung thinks that the students can handle the matter and that they should be the first ones in the Missouri Valley to take up the question.
"If baseball is abolished the men who are now professional in baseball will go into track and football and then it will not be long before all sports are abolished.
"If the students through the Student Council would take up the matter, I think that baseball will be retained. At the present time we have no way of finding out who are amateurs except by the word of the men themselves. No man will go before the Student Council and give false information on his standing."
Chancellor Strong, who as head of the University must sign all lists of players, said "I do not like to place my name to a paper which afterwards proves to be false. If we cannot rely on the players to give up truthful information some other source must be obtained. The students can solve the matter. They are the only ones who can save the game."
No Holiday Friday
In speaking of the present rules Professor MeClung said, "There has been some misunderstanding on the matter of the player who unintentionally becomes a professional. The player can be reinstated and his amateur standing would not be hurt. The purpose of all legislation on eligibility was to make the amateur standing of all players unquestionable."
The University council, at a meeting held last Friday evening, decided that no holiday would be granted on Friday of quiz week. Many of the instructors accordingly will provide quizzes for all their classes the last day of this week.
The Acacia fraternity has pledged the following men: Kenneth Munson, a junior law from Lawrence; Verne Long, a senior engineer from Madison, and Bruce Merwin, a senior in the College from Lawrence.
CAN THEY COME BACK?
Seniors Are Planning to Return in 1916
Plans are now under way which probably will provide for a reunion of the class of '11 at commencement time in 1916. George Russell, manager of the '11 Jayhawker, entertained twenty-four members of the senior class at a "dry feed" at the Sigma Chi house last Saturday night and at that time the plans for a definite working alumni organization were discussed with the result that in a short time a meeting of the senior class will be held and some definite action taken.
The plans of the committee will probably provide for some sort of a circular letter which will keep all members of the class in constant touch with each other. The meeting last Saturday evening is only one of several that are to follow and some time in March a general class meeting will be held.
FIRST COLLEGE GAME.
Basket-Ball Five Will Meet Beth any Friday Night
The College basket-ball team will play its initial game with Bethany College in Robinson gymnasium Friday night. The "Swedes" will be playing in good form at the end of their trip this week and will give the locals a hard game. However, Coach Hamilton says that the men on the department team have been playing as good ball as the varsity squad in serimmage and he expects them to win the game. The men who will play are Malleis, Hite, Nesbit, Eisele, and Ebnother.
The student enterprise tickets may be used for this game under the same conditions as for a varsity game.

RELAY CARNIVAL IN KANSAS CITY
LANSDON AND BREWER PLAN BIG MEET.
All Schools of Missouri Valley to Compete on Gordon & Koppel Field in April.
One of the results of the conference between C. L. Brewer of the University of Missouri and Manager Lansdon held behind closed doors Saturday afternoon, was the development of tentative plans for a great relay carnival to be similar to that held on Franklin Field by the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia in the spring. The idea of holding such a meet under the exclusive management of the Universities of Missouri and Kansas originated with C. L. Brewer, the new director of athletics at the Tiger school. However, the plans are not yet official since the proposition must be ratified by the boards of athletics of the two schools. Manager Lansdon says that there is no doubt that the plan would be favorably received by the athletic board here.
It is proposed to hold the meet on Gordon & Coppel field at Kansas City on the last Saturday of April. Invitations will be extended to all the schools in the Missouri Valley and perhaps to a number of schools in the East and on the Pacific coast, to send teams representing them at the carnival, and some of the best amateur track talent of the country is expected to compete. In order to avoid any conflicts regarding eligibility rules of the schools all entries in the meet will be classified according to the athletic standing under which they compete. The classes that the teams will be divided into are: conference teams and those wishing to compete under conference rules, all non-conference colleges, normal schools, high schools, military academies, and athletic clubs
The field events that will be held beside the relay races are high hurdles, 100-yard dash, running high jump, 16-pound shotput, and hurling discus. The championship relays among the schools in the conference class will be 4-mile, 2-mile, and 1-mile races and the relays between the schools of the other classes will be of 1-mile.
The departments of chemistry and pharmacy will offer next term a two-hour course in Home Economics chemistry meeting on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30. The course is for those students who wish to prepare themselves for the home economics work and it will include special instruction in organic and physiological chemistry.

Will Hold no Post-Exam Jubilee
On account of the conflict with the College basket-ball game with Bethany no special postexam jubilee celebration will be held Friday evening. The Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. for several years have arranged an entertainment for all students to attend on the Friday evening after quiz week, but the basket-ball game scheduled for that date this year has caused the concellation of the plans for the jubilee.

COMMITTEE TO GET BUDGET TOMORROW
UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION BILL SOON TO BE HEARD
Chancellor and Secretary Will Be Present at Meeting in Topeka to Explain Items
It is expected that the University budget will come up before the ways and means committee of the house at Topeka tomorrow night and Chancellor Strong probably will be summoned to Topeka to explain the various items, E. E. Brown, secretary and purchasing agent, and a number of other members of the faculty also will be present at the hearing. Chancellor Strong was in Topeka yesterday and while there met a number of the Board of Regents informally.
The matter of the single administrative board for all the schools of higher education in Kansas has occupied the attention of the University authorities for several days. Chancellor Strong said this morning that he was unable to find what the consensus of opinion was among the legislators regarding the proposed plan. Some who rather favored the bill at first are now in favor of a more careful investigation into the educational system before voting for the change.
The University authorities have not taken sides either for on against the proposed measure. The attitude taken by the University is that it welcomes any investigation into its methods of management and the conditions of its work and will loyally abide by any decision the state may make in regard to its administration. But the matter is so important, involving as it does the welfare of the entire system of higher education, that the University is anxious that a change shall be made only after thorough consideration

THE NEW IDEA.
It is too bad that an imaginary line in the neighborhood of Kansas City may prevent the building of a School of Medicine that would be of great benefit to the entire Southwest. By combining their resources the states of Kansas and Missouri could build a school adequate in every way to train men for the medical profession and to engage in medical research, succeeding much better than either state can do alone. However, the difficulties involved in the support and control of such an institution by two states working together are so great that only the best of luck and the best of sense can make the idea a reality. University people who desire the furtherance of the social welfare, and that means all University people, will watch the development of the new plan with interest.
Though young in years, as Universities go, the University of Kansas has a history of achievement of which the state may well feel rather proud. The report of

Basket-ball seems to be an admirable game in that "dirty" playing brings its own punishment in the form of lessened chances for goal throwing on the part of the team engaging in that sort of play. The Jayhawker squad has started out to play clean ball and has a fine chance to make a clean record of a victorious season.

A roster of the staffs of Milwaukee papers is a standing refutation of the charge that college men are not adapted to this work. The course in journalism gives them ideals and foundation for newspaper work as no other preparation can.—W. L. W. Distelhorst, of the Milwaukee Journal.

CHAMPIONSHIP TO THE JAYHAWKERS?
GAME SATURDAY ASSURES IT, SAYS CAPTAIN HEIZER.
Kansas Took the Second Battle From the Tigers by a Score of 27 to 14.
Captain Heizer thinks that in winning the second game of the Missouri-Kansas basket-ball series the Jayhawkers have practically assured themselves the Missouri Valley championship.
"I know the men well and with the average run of luck we will be able to take one of the games at Columbia. The other games on the trip which will begin February 17, are all hard ones, but I have no doubt but that we will take most of them."
The game Saturday evening in Robinson gymnasium was won by a score of 27 to 14. The Jayhawker guards were able to keep the Tigers from shooting as many goals as in Friday's game. Four goals were made from the field as compared to nine of the night before. Cohen, captain of the Tigers, was put out of the game in the second half on account of personal fouls.
Parker and Purkhiser each made six points and Burress made two points for the visitors. Edwards, who played right guard, made the unusual record of no fouls.
The line-up for the teams follow:
It was not the star work of any single man on the Kansas team that was particularly noticeable. It was the team work that the Jayhawkers excelled in. Larson and Dousman did good work at guard, Long, besides making nine free goals made two field goals. Stuckey made more goals for the Jayhawkers than any other man on the team.

Kansans in Chicago Banquet.
At the annual dinner of the Chicago Kansas Day club in the Mid-Day club room, held in Chicago Saturday night, C. M. Harger, head of the department of the School of Journalism at the University, made the principal address of the evening. His subject was the "Articles of Faith."
He reviewed the past history of the state, noting carefully the progress it has made in every respect. "Kansas," he said, "was the granary and safety-vault of the nation."
Jayhawker banquets were held also in many cities throughout the country, including New York Chicago, Denver, Washington, and Los Angeles.
HONORS PROF. DUNCAN.
"American," a Leading Magazine, Considers Him Interesting.
The February American Magazine under the head of "Interesting People," contains a photograph of Robert Kennedy Duncan and an article on the industrial fellowships in the University of Kansas. These fellowships have attracted national interest, as manufacturers have awakened to the fact that scientific methods are needed in their work. A magazine article about cellulose, written by Professor Dunean four years ago, mentioned the fact that while the mechanical processes of laudering were virtually perfect, the chemistry of laudering was medieval. This caused a firm manufacturing laundry supplies to ask him what he had to suggest and he replied that a temporary fellowship to investigate this should be established in the University of Kansas. Thirteen temporary fellowships have been established in the last three years to investigate problems in industrial chemistry.
Professor Duncan has found time to work out some inventions himself in industrial chemistry, especially in connection with the chemistry of glass. The article further states that he is as far as possible removed from the dry-as-dust type of scientist and so valuable a man that he is professor in two universities at once.
WROTE FOR HARPERS.
Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan Tells of Camphor Industry.
Harper's Monthly magazine for February contains an article by Robert Kennedy Duncan, professor of Industrial chemistry at the University of Kansas. He says in part:
"The camphor industry is being revolutionized by the representatives of the great industrial corporations, who are acting as the agents of Providence in the accomplishment of its transformation.
"The Russo-Japanese war had a great influence upon the camphor industry, on account of the vast debt contracted by Japan during the war. Later their attention was turned to this industry and it was converted into a government monopoly.
"If there are enormous peeniniary and material results to be obtained through the forcing of the product of our civilization on peoples, there is just as much to be materially obtained through the taking over from the foreign peoples their own disappearing forms and knowledge of life and the converting of it to the uses and needs of our own civilizations."
Dr. Ida H. Hyde of the department of physiology gave a lecture on "The International Congress of Women at Berlin" Tuesday afternoon, January 24, before The Round Table club of Lawrence, Dr. Hyde attended the congress as a delegate from Kansas in June, 1904.

Student Organization to Meet Monthly at Westminster
SOCIAL GUILD FORMED.
In response to invitation from Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Wilber a number of Presbyterian students and others specially interested in the work of Westminister hall met there Saturday afternoon to consider the formation of some organization which should have social meetings at the hall at regular intervals. Dr. Wilber, as temporary chairman, stated the purpose of the meeting and outlined the nature of an organization which might be formed.
After discussion the students voted to band themselves together in a simple organization to be called the Westminster Students' Guild. It will met monthly and the first regular meeting will be Saturday evening, February 18, at Westminister hall. A program committee, one to secure new members, and a third to arrange for special speakers for the Guild were determined upon.
Election of officers for the spring semester resulted in the selection of E. W. Davidson for president, Miss Violet Haynes secretary- treasurer, Paul Carson chairman of program committee, Miss Agnes Conrad chairman of membership committee, and Miss Deska Rankin, chairman of entertainment committee. Together with Dr. F. A. Wilber the five officers will constitute a board of directors to select committee members and plan the work of the organization.
Columbia University, according to the catalogue, which has just been published, ranks first in point of registration among American universities and colleges, for in the present academic year 7,429 students are taking courses in the institution. The majority of these are in the graduate and professional faculties, the undergraduate and scientific departments having a total registration of 1,456.
The new catalogue of Vassar College just issued, shows that in the list of students there are five graduate scholars, 214 seniors, 248 juniors, 264 sophomores, and 327 freshmen, making a total of 1,058. Of this number 343 are from the state of New York. Students are enrolled from Porto Rico, Persia, Italy, Syria, and from every state in the Union save two.
The young women of Ohio State University, numbering 632, have organized a campaign to secure an appropriation by the Legislature for a woman's building. They will ask for $75,000, which would provide a commodious building for the social and educational activities of women students.
